AN/TRC-180 Radio Terminal Set

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/TRC-180 is a compact, communications terminal set

Frequency: 220 405 MHz

Power: 30 W PEP

operating over four frequency ranges which utilizes three

395 705 MHz

25 W average

AN/GRC-103 Radio Sets. The set utilizes a dipole and corner

695 1000 MHz

reflector antenna.

1350 1850 MHz

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

AN/TRC-189 Net Radio Interface (NRI) System

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/TRC-189 consists of one AN/VRC-46 VHF

Frequency: 30 76 MHz

Power: 5 W average; PEP 35 W

Radio Set (10 m whip antenna), two AN/VSC-7 UHF

225 400 MHz

35 W\2W average

Satellite Communications Sets (tripod mounted LP

2 30 MHz

100W\400W average

antenna), and two AN/GRC-193 HF Radio Sets (15 m

whip antenna). A sloping V or a dipole antenna can be

used in place of either of the whip antenna to increase

the effective range of communications.

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard. Establish a Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program (IAW guidelines

provided in this TB) .

Hazard distance from antenna ....

For the AN/GRC-193 radio set, exclude personnel to distances of 1.1 m (100 W) and

2.5 m (400 W) from the antenna.

RF shock/burn .....................

Observe standard RF shock precautions. Do not touch any system antenna when

energized.

Other.................................

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.

Do not operate the AN/GRC-193 Radio Set in a free space radiating mode inside of

buildings.
