VHF Tactical Handheld Radio Q-MAC VHF-90M

Military Tactical VHF transceiver Secure, Simple to Use and Versatile Q-MAC VHF-90M

The Q=MAC VHF-90M Military Tactical VHF transceiver is a state of the art communication device specifically designed for tactical military applications. It is an extremely compact and lightweight unit, featuring only essential controls to ensure ease of operation. The radio is available with three modes of communication.

• Analog Fixed Frequency (F3E Stanag 4204 ANPRC 77 Compatible)
• Secure Digital Fixed Frequency
• Secure Digital Frequency Hopping

Designed for Tactical Use

The Q-MAC VHF-90M tactical military VHF transceiver addresses two roles. When used with a short antenna it is ideal squad/platoon level communicator, which is light and simple to operate. When fitted with a full-length tactical whip antenna it becomes capable of use at company/ battalion/brigade level where longer ranges are required.

In both roles the ECCM capability ensures low probability of intercept. The dual role capability simplifies equipment logistics and renders the Q-MAC VHF-90M as capable replacement of the PRC-77 and equivalents.

Q-MAC VHF-90M military tactical VHF transceiver has a simple user interface which provides infantrymen sure and dependable communication in tactical conditions. Only essential controls are included on the front panel for simple operation in battlefield conditions.

Advanced programming functionality is available in sub-menus. Q-MAC VHF-90M military transceiver can be either field or PC programmed.

Q-MAC VHF-90M military VHF transceiver  is solidly constructed and designed to withstand rigorous military use. Emphasis in the design of the Q-MAC VHF-90M has been placed on value engineering to ensure low cost of ownership over a long service life. This is achieved by utilizing SMD components from generic multi-sourced families.

In short, this revolutionary new transceiver incorporates the very latest in RF and DSP design technology. Q-MAC VHF-90M military transceiver is the most cost effective, compact, versatile, high performance VHF transceiver available in the tactical military market today.
