The RT-300 is a Radio Direction Finder system designed for maritime operations applications. It is used to accurately determine the direction if radio signals within the maritime and air bands. Its two band, has VHF AM-FM, and is TimeZero Compatible. DETECT-LOCATE-FIND

Do ALL radios have the DSC function? Icom America Inc. Fact, Fiction and Kind Of! Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a technology that allows VHF radios to send and receive digital messages, including distress calls. DSC is a core part of the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS). After 1998 in the United States, ALL fixed mount radios were required to have the DSC function and as far as handheld - almost all of them do now, but it depends on what radio you’re using and what you need it for. #icom #icomamerica #uhf #vhf #dsc #digitalselectivecalling #maritimedistresssafetysystem #radiofacts #radio #factorfiction #captainsclassroom #thecaptainsclassroom #themoreyouknow

Interesting article about leveraging tactical manpack radios and waveforms like MUOS and TSM on air platforms. The issue noted of interoperability between the numerous software baselines and different versions of TAK you’d think wouldn’t be a problem becaue of “standards” compliance. But, as a software developer, I’ve experienced how a single standard can be interpreted and implemented in radically different ways. #TacticalComms #TAK #ArmyAviation

I would like to provide insight to a few things that are often overlooked when broadcasters talk about new ATSC 3.0 datacasting opportunities. Too often, what is being discussed sounds great but is not practical. My goal isn't to suggest that this is nearly impossible to implement, rather, I would like to point out the real-world scenarios of these discussions. While this chart shows 54-890 MHz, in the USA, there are a total of 35 broadcast channels. Each channel is 6 MHz for a total of 210 MHz of spectrum. 5 of these channels are VHF-Lo and 7 of these channels are VHF-Hi. These channels are unusable for mobile operations because the antenna size required for cell phones is too large. In a best-case scenario, the antenna size required for channel 13 would be just over 1' long and for channel 2, just over 4' long. UHF is better, but there's only 22 of those channels available. The antenna size required for channel 36 is just over 6" and just under 6" for channel 14. You might be saying to yourself, "OK, so VHF in 3.0 does not work for mobile but UHF looks promising". The original post below makes three very aggressive assumptions- 1) It was assumed that every channel is available for use. In any populated area, they are not, as most populated areas share these same frequencies with other adjacent markets. In my home market of Chicago only 9 of the 22 UHF channels are being used for full power stations. The adjacent markets of Milwaukee, Rockford, and South Bend utilize the remaining 13 UHF channels. 2) This post also assumes 9 Mbps for every MHz, which is 54 Mbps for a full channel. This calculation is extremely aggressive. Not only would this level of bandwidth completely eliminate the possibility of data to a cell phone or car, but it would also absolutely require an outdoor antenna to be connected to the receiving device. This alone eliminates a majority of the potential use cases that are being pitched. 3) These aggressive assumptions assume that all spectrum is being used for datacasting purposes. As a licensee of a broadcast station, we are required to serve the public. We can make money while fulfilling this obligation, but we are not permitted to eliminate our primary linear service at the expense of potential business opportunities. What does all of this mean in the end? VHF is not practical for mobile datacasting due to the large antennas required. UHF is practical, but there are anywhere from 3-12 full power channels available in a given market. 54 Mbps is not practical for most use cases due to the laboratory conditions required. A more practical number for reliable mobile operation, assuming one linear channel, is 3-10 Mbps. In the end, assuming 10 Mbps per channel in a market that has 12 channels, assuming all are participating in a shared datacasting agreement, this would yield 120 Mbps- Far less than the 1.9 Gbps positioned. Most of us have more than 120 Mbps in our homes today. Comments welcome.
