SCOPE. Continued
d.
Purpose and Use of Equipment. All types of SINCGARS ICOM radio sets use the RT 1523 series as the
basic receiver transmitter. They can operate in single channel (SC) mode or in the frequency hopping (FH)
mode. In either mode the RT can receive and transmit, voice, and analog or digital data. The RT has a self test
function, retransmit capabilities, and can be remotely controlled. The RCU (remote control unit) can remotely
control a RT up to 4 km away. The control monitor provides for control of the installed RT, but with less
capabilities than the RCU. Like the RT, the RCU and control monitor have a self test function. External
COMSEC equipment is not required when using the RT 1523 series or RCU. Secure communications
functions are built into the RT and RCU.
