the RF-382A series couplers efficiently and automatically match the output of 125 to 400 watt transceivers to a wide variety of whip, dipole, and long-wire antennas over the frequency range of 1.6 to 30 mhz. tuning time from memory is less than 200 milliseconds. RF-382A series couplers operate with ale communications systems that r equir e very fast fr equency change. rugged and r eliable, they operate under the most severe environmental conditions in vehicular, transportable, shipboard, and fixed- station applications. the RF-382A antenna coupler is designed for direct interface with falcon ? ii hf systems and is fully compatible with the built-in mil-std-188-141b and stanag-4538 automatic link establishment (ale) protocols. the coupler requires a control cable and rf coax interface to connect to the associated transceiver. separation can be up to 250 feet (76 m). a high voltage ceramic insulator provides the connection to the antenna. it is also equipped with a 50-ohm n- connector antenna port for coaxial connection to a fixed site br oadband or r esonant antenna. inter nal built-in test to the module level pr ovides rapid diagnostic tr oubleshooting and r epair. in addition, all key operating parameters are continually monitored during operation. if parameters are exceeded, a coupler fault is reported to the radio. assured communications ?
