Capabilities of the SINCGARS SIP radio in which forward error

Enhanced data modes

correction, speed, range, and accuracy of data transmission are

materially improved. Four enhanced data rates (1200N, 2400N,

4800N, and 9600N) and two new modes (Packet and RS-232) are

provided by the SIP/ASIP radio. Packet data mode can be used

only with the FBCB2 system.

EXT, an option found under the RCU key of the SIP radio,

External (used with GRM - 122)

represents a future capability of the radio and is not currently used.

ASIP radio is in EXT mode automatically when proper interface and

software is detected. When the radio is set to this mode, the front

panel controls of the RT are disabled, allowing control to be

performed from the peripheral device. Ensure you do not

accidentally select EXT mode. ICOM Radio versions of the

SINCGARS radio having integrated COMSEC but not equipped

with SIP features. Components are identified as RT-1523,

RT-1523A, RT-1523B and AM-7239, AM-7239A, AM -72398.
