The TCR-MBA-50v2 is a Next Generation RF Power Amplifier (PA) designed to enhance communications range for existing and emerging handheld and manpack radios. The PA is designed for use with wideband and traditional narrowband waveforms. Multiple installation scenarios are supported including vehicular, airborne, maritime, man-portable, or fixed-station applications with user-configurable antenna ports. The PA can be powered from a single BA-5590 battery as well as 12/24 VDC vehicle power and commercial power supplies.
Tricom Research leads the industry in performance and flexibility. The TCR-MBA-50v2 utilizes two multi-pin connectors to support RS-485, USB, and Ethernet communications with end-user devices and optional Tricom accessories such as the Bias-Tee and Remote Face Plate. The intuitive menu driven user interface provides full local control and status via an NVG compatible display.
