URC-200 Buyer’s Guide
We ask the questions, so you don’t have to.
General Dynamics takes pride in developing new systems
solu-
tions for all of your Line-of-Sight applications. To better define
your system needs, and to help us provide the system that’s
right for you, please answer the short list of questions below.
Assess your basic requirements. Which type of
communications do you utilize?
__ Voice
__ Data
__ Both
This will help us to determine what the baseband I/O will be.
What are the interface characteristics of the proposed
installation? (Check all that apply)
__ Power Availability
__ Baseband
__ RF (antenna)
This helps determine what types of accessories will be
required. The more we know, the easier it will be to provide
you with the right accessories for your system.
Between which type of platform(s) do you wish to
communicate? (Check all that apply)
__ Fixed
__ Mobile
__ Vehicle
__ Ship
__ Backpack
This helps to identify input power supplies, shocktrays, antenna
selections, and to determine whether adding a Power Amplifier
is an option. Check out the typical system diagrams in the
planning guide for help in deciding on a particular configuration
that suits your needs.
Between what locations or areas do you wish to
communicate? What range (distance) is required?
__ Line-of-Sight
__ Remote Antenna(s)
__ Repeater
What other systems/operations do you need to
interoperate with?
__________________________________________________________
Interoperability requirements go a long way toward defining
your system requirements. You must plan for compatibility
with any of the existing systems that you still plan to use.
What type of modulation do you want to use?
__________________________________________________________
The URC does AM and FM (< 10 kHz deviation) in Voice
(Plain Text) mode and Data (Cipher Text) mode.
The basic URC covers:
115 to 149.995 MHz (AM),
115 to 173.995 MHz (FM) and,
225 to 399.995 MHz (AM/FM)
The Frequency Expansion Options add:
EBN-30, 30 to 90 MHz (FM)
EBN-400, 400 to 420 MHz (FM)
What tuning increments are required?
__ 25 kHz
__ 12.5 kHz
__ 5 kHz
__ 8.33 kHz (option)
This determines whether the URC radio is suitable for
the proposed application, or if you will need a Frequency
Enhancement Option. The standard URC supports the above
frequencies. The frequencies that you will be using will also
influence your choice of antennas.
What are the requirements for Remote Control/
Operation of the radio?
The UEC-120/220 Remote Control Units offer hard-wired
remote control of URC radios from up to 300 feet away, and
interconnect with the PTSH-104 speakers to provide amplified
audio and to allow remote Tx/Rx operation.
Major functions of the radio can be controlled from a computer
through the RS-232 ports. The PC can be hard-wired directly
to the radio. Or it can be accessed through an off-site location
anywhere in the world
