Operates from 24 VDC vehicle battery or power supply. Transmitter output power 8W (low) and 35W (high).
Noise-operated squelch as well as an advanced tone-operated squelch (150 Hz) is provided. The tone squelch provides reliable retransmission when two receiver-transmitter are used as an automatic relay station.
The AN/VRC-12 is a combat-proven vehicular radio set that lends its self particularly well to applications of tactical deployment and specific operational missions because of their ability to be assembled into various configurations and of being installed on most types of military vehicles such as M-151 Mutt Jeeps, Humvees, heavy armour, etc.
The RT-524 is supplied in good working order Grade 2. Accessories and cables are also available. See Related products at the bottom of this page.
