TCR-HHR-20 Tactical Repeater/Communications System AN/PRC148/152

The Tricom Research Tactical Radio Repeater and Communications System is a fly away repeater and communications kit for use with the Harris AN/PRC‐152A (and Thales AN/PRC‐148 when factory is notified at time of order) family of Multi‐Band Handheld Radios. It  allows an operator to rapidly set up a LOS, SATCOM, or Wideband communications link in various scenarios including military and commercial vehicles or “TOC in a Box” applications in the field or shelters.

The two radios can be operated independently or set up as a repeater by connecting them with a retransmission cable (user supplied). In a repeater application the TX side radio is amplified by a TCR‐MBA‐50 WB Wideband/Multi‐Band RF amplifier using a custom heatsink for forced air cooling. The system consists of a TCR‐MBA‐50 amplifier, connections for two BB‐2590 style batteries (user supplied) with integrated battery chargers, and a 115/230 VAC power supply. The enclosure includes an egress panel for easy access to antenna, handset, PA remote and input power connections and forced air cooling of the amplifier and radios allows the system to be operated with the case closed for environmental protection.
