TR2400

HF SSB Transceiver

The TR2400 forms part of SSG’s Tactical HF communication product range which was designed to meet the operational requirements of the
modern digital battlefield.

The TR2400 environmental and electromagnetic compliance is based on MIL-STD-810E and MIL-STD-461D respectively.

The TR2400 uses Micro/DSP technology that allows configuration flexibility and an upgrade path.

The TR2400 provides the user with voice and data communications for manpack applications as well as base station and vehicle installations.

A unique feature of this transceiver is that the output power is typically 25W when powered from the supplied manportable battery and typically
100W when powered from a 26V vehicle battery.

The TR2400 with its external co-location filter provides the user with the capability to operate multiple transceivers in a co-located environment.

The TR2400 HF SSB Transceiver is a small, lightweight, versatile

Transceiver.
It was developed primarily for long range reconnaissance patrol and
the embedded security features make it suitable for military and
paramilitary use.

MIL-STD-188-141B ALE with a quick set-up option simplifies

operator tasks.

ECCM capability is provide in all operational modes

(Voice, Digital Voice, Data and Data Link mode.)

Error free, data transfer in a network environment is ensured by using

the Stanag 5066 data link protocol.

The TR2400 features high reliability and the modular construction

facilitates field repair and a low MTTR.
