Q-MAC Disaster Response HF SSB Package description
The Q-MAC HF-90 HF SSB Disaster Response Package is a transportable all-in-one HF communications package incorporating the Q-MAC HF-90 HF SSB Transceiver. A detailed description of the Q-MAC HF-90 HF SSB Transceiver, together with technical specifications, is provided on a separate brochure.
Along with the Q-MAC HF-90 HF Transceiver, the package contains a variety of antennas, power/charger systems, carry packs/cases and mounting accessories. Using the appropriate combination of Q-MAC HF-90 HF SSB Transceiver and accessories, the operator will have the ability to set up any of the following systems:
- Manpack system (walk and talk)
- Portable systems (stop and deploy) - different combinations possible
- Fixed vehicle system (mobile)
- Fixed base station system - using AC mains power
Such a package offers full flexibility to the operator in the field, who may not know what type of communications system is required until a disaster area has been surveyed. Additional Q-MAC HF-90 Transceivers may be added to the package as required (optional), so that a variety of systems can be achieved simultaneously.
This package is designed specifically for humanitarian and emergency services organisations that must be able to deploy staff and equipment into a disaster area within a very short time frame. The entire package is conveniently housed in a sturdy aluminium road case with wheels, so that it may be transported by a single person. The case also incorporates a permanent packing list under the lid. This allows the package to be transported to site, deployed, returned to headquarters and then re-stocked for future use.
