RF-7850M-V50x
The RF-7850M-V50x is a high-performance VHF power amplifier for use with the Falcon
III® RF-7800V-HH handheld VHF radio in vehicular or base station radio systems, supplying
additional RF power for increased range and link reliability.
The RF-7850M-V50X provides continuous coverage in the 30 to 512 MHz frequency band
with up to 50 watts output power from 30 MHz to 108 MHz and up to 20 watts output
power from 108 MHz to 512 MHz. The amplifier extends all modes of transmission to
include:
>> ANW2 at 1.2 MHz Channel Bandwidth
>> TDMA Networking Waveform (TNW)

Integrated handheld battery charging allows simultaneous radio operation. The “hot
jerk-and-run” feature affords operators the ability to remove the radio from the amplifier
and seamlessly continue use of the handheld without having to turn it off. Heat sinking
provides an extended-use duty cycle. Ready for integration into vehicular communication
systems, a VIC-3 interface is provided for incorporation with legacy intercoms, and the
RF-7800V-V50x is fully interoperable with Harris’ Falcon III Digital Vehicular Intercom
System—the RF-7800I.
BENEFITS
>> Achieve information superiority on the battlefield with greater speed and detail by
leveraging the Harris Advanced Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2).
>> Applying increased RF power for extended range and link reliability in Harris advanced
narrowband waveforms.
>> The system supplies many industry standard interfaces and the amplifier has multiple
ports to run interfaces simultaneously.
>> Built-in collocation features to provide full power during demanding VSWR in both
fixed frequency and frequency hopping.
>> Future proof architecture enables planned product improvements to be implemented
as software only upgrades in most cases.
