HF-90 Disaster Response Package
The Q-MAC HF-90 Disaster Response Package is a transportable 'all-in-one' HF communications package incorporating the
Q-MAC HF-90 Transceiver. Along with the HF-90 Transceiver, the package contains a variety of antennas, power/charger systems, carry packs/cases and mounting accessories.
Using the appropriate combination of HF-90 Transceiver and accessories, the operator will have the ability to set up any of the following systems:
- Manpack system (walk and talk)
- Portable systems (stop and deploy) - different combinations possible
- Fixed vehicle system (mobile)
- Fixed base station system - using AC mains power
Such a package offers full flexibility to the operator in the field, who may not know what type of communications system is required until a disaster area has been surveyed. Additional HF-90 transceivers may be added to the package as required (optional), so that a variety of systems can be achieved simultaneously.
The Lithium Ion battery pack and enclosure can be quick released for exchanging packs and include a charging socket which can also provide an auxiliary DC outlet for modem or other accessories.
The HF-90M Manpack is totally independent of terrain and can be used whilst carried on the operators back, or when on the ground. The multi-role design of the HF-90M transceiver in the Manpack allows it to be easily removed for Base Station or Vehicle use with the addition of appropriate accessories.
