HF Long-Range Radio

HF software defined radio for reliable, secure long-range voice and data communications

Overview

The HF Long-Range Radio is an HF software defined radio family delivering reliable and secure long-range voice and data services under demanding field conditions. It uses Direct RF Sampling across a broadband spectrum to automatically and quickly select the best communication frequency, and supports AES-256 plus customizable encryption for secure communication. Advanced voice CODEC and DEC technology provide clear voice even in noisy environments. The family spans a portable/backpack radio, a vehicular radio, and a base station, and covers 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz with up to 1000 W output when paired with power amplifiers. Data transmission reaches up to 51.2 kbps via a built-in modem. The rugged, modular design offers extended environmental, shock and vibration resistance.
