9. RELIABILITY
The reliability of radio communications depends largely on the selection of a good radio site.
Since it is very difficult to select a site for a radio that satisfies all the technical, tactical, and security requirements, we compromise and select a primary site and an alternate site.
If, for some reason, radio communications cannot be established and maintained at the primary location, the radio equipment can be moved a short distance to the alternate site.

10. Capabilities and Limitations
The capabilities of the single-channel radio make it flexible, securable, mobile, and reliable.
Radio communications facilities usually can be installed more quickly than wire communications.
Thus, radio can be used as a primary means of communications during the initial stages of combat operations.
Once installed in a vehicle, aircraft, or ship, the equipment is ready for use and does not require reinstallation.
Wire communications require reinstallation with each move.
Radio equipment is designed to meet mobility requirements and is used by airmobile, amphibious, mechanized, and dismounted units.

11. limitations of single-channel radio
The limitations of single-channel radio must also be considered.
Radio is the most detectable means of electronic communications and is subject to intentional and unintentional electronic interference.
Current Threat conditions require good electronic counter countermeasures (ECCM) to include remoting techniques.
To be capable of operating together, radios must have common or at least some overlapping frequencies.
They must transmit and receive the same type signal and must be located within operating range of each other with a clear transmission path.
Radio is the least secure means of communications, and it must be assumed that interception occurs every time a transmitter is placed in operation.

19. FALSE True or False You set comsec switch to z-fh then to off?
turn function knob to z-fh, then off

20. True or false
It is fairly easy to select an ideal site for a radio that satisfies all the technical, tactical, and security requirements?
False
Since it is very difficult to select a site for a radio that satisfies all the technical, tactical, and security requirements, we compromise and select a primary site and an alternate site.

23. INSTRUCTORS

24. Condition
Given an operational sincgars, transfer fill device with cable, distant end station, tm , da pam 750-8, da form 2404, and unit soi

25. Standard:
STANDARD IS MET WHEN COMMUNICATIONS IS CONTINUED IN A SINGLE CHANNEL OR FREQUENCY HOPPING MODE OF OPERATION WITH A DISTANT END STATION, USING THE lcD DISPLAY AND THE “DURING” OPERATION CHECK RESULTS ARE RECORDED ON DA FORM 2404

26. Single-channel radio characteristics & capabilities
The Sincgars family is designed on a modular basis to achieve maximum commonality among various ground and airborne configurations. A common RT is used in the manpack and all vehicle configurations. These individual components are totally interchangeable from one configuration to the next.

27. Single-channel radio characteristics & capabilities
Sincgars operates on any 2,320 channels between MHz, with a channel separation of 25 kilohertz (KHz). It is designed to operate in nuclear or hostile environments. Sincgars accepts either digital or analog input and imposes the signal onto a Secured channel(SC) or Frequency hop (FH) output signal.

28. Single-channel radio characteristics & capabilities
In fh, the input changes frequencies about 100 times per second over portions of the tactical VHF range. This hinders threat intercept and jamming units from locating or disrupting friendly communications.

29. Single-channel radio characteristics & capabilities
The Sincgars radio is compatible with current generations of single channel FM Radios in use of our NATO allies in single channel mode. Since our nato allies have not yet fielded frequency hopping radios, they can only communicate on discrete frequencies.

32. QUESTIONS?

33. CHECK ON LEARNING

34. SINCGARS OPERATES ON HOW MANY CHANNELS?
2,450
2,320
2,420
2,340
None of the above

35. Answer:
b)2,320
Sincgars operates on any 2,320 channels

36. Your Sincgars radio was left in a vehicle and exposed to an EMP due to a nuclear blast. Will your radio still work?

37. possible
The Sincgars radio is nuclear survivable in that it is hardened against the effects of emp. Although it is not as vulnerable to emp as other solid state electronic devices, do not think that it is invulnerable to emp. The Sincgars radio is designed to operate in nuclear or hostile environments.

38. True or false
Sincgars operates on any 2,320 channels between KHz, with a channel separation of 25 kilohertz (KHz).

39. false
Sincgars operates on any 2,320 channels between MHz, with a channel separation of 25 kilohertz (KHz).

40. True or false
We can communicate with the British royal army with the use of our Sincgars radio?

41. TRUE
Because England is one of our nato allies we can communicate in single channel mode.
