RF23 - EPM handheld transceiver
An RF23 EPM handheld multiband transceiver with enhanced resistance to radio-electronic warfare designed for tactical command level for all military branches.
- integrated GPS receiver
- audio accessories with U-229/U connector
An EPM handheld multiband transceiver with enhanced resistance to radio-electronic warfare designed for tactical command level for all military branches. The RF23 complements the RF20 radio system and is therefore fully compatible with all transceivers of this system in terms of voice and data communication. It differs from the RF20 handheld transceiver in particular by its connectivity to standardized accessories used by other radio manufacturers – antennas and electro-acoustic sets. Using TNC-type antenna connector significantly expands the range of suitable antennas, including products by RADIALL and TRIVAL ANTENNE. Standardized audio-frequency electro-acoustic sets are connected with the U-229/U audio-frequency connector (according to MIL-DTL-55116). The connector can be connected to acoustic devices by SONETRONICS, CJ COMPONENT PRODUCTS, POWER TIME etc.
RF23 transceiver offers new accessories and features, including built-in GPS receiver with automatic position reporting behind voice or data broadcast – the G-track system.
a) in all modes of operation
• automatic transceiver self-test after power-up with failure indication on the display (BITE);
• programming with operational data using PK23 fill gun set;

• displaying of position, time and speed on LCD with updates from GPS;
• AF connector configuration;
• AF connector status monitoring;
• remote transceiver control via PRC20 protocol;
• easy dismantling of the GPS antenna and connecting of external active or passive antenna via SMA connector;
• can be used with modular carrier system bags.
RF20 - EPM handheld transceiver
PN (RN): 2300.100.10
RF20 EPM handheld multiband transceiver with improved resistance to electronic warfare for use at the tactical command levels for all kinds of military units.
- standard range of functionalities typical for handheld transceivers of RF20 system
RF20 EPM handheld multiband transceiver with improved resistance to electronic warfare is designated for use at the lowest tactical command levels for all kinds of military units. Depending on the type of selected frequency band, the transceiver is able to communicate in HF band with frequency modulation, with VHF RF13 transceivers, RF2050, RF2350 mobile transceivers and with airborne transceivers in Aircraft band I.
