HF-90W Minipack
Package Description:
The Q-MAC HF-90 Minipack is the world’s smallest high-power (50W) portable HF SSB radio communication system. This package incorporates the Q-MAC HF-90 Transceiver – now available with optional frequency hopping. The entire package, comprising transceiver, microphone, broadband antenna system and battery system, is contained within a rugged Pelican® Case. When closed, the package is fully waterproof (submersible) and is easily carried by hand, in the back of any vehicle, on a bicycle, or even by pack animal.
The HF-90 MiniPack delivers reliable long-range performance, yet takes only minutes to deploy in the field. The transceiver sits up out of the case on a compact aluminium rack (which is also used to store the antenna and power cable whilst in transit). The antenna is unreeled, deployed and plugged into an accessible outlet, alongside the earth/counterpoise wire. The transceiver is already wired to the rechargeable battery supplied, ready for immediate use. When used together with optional AC mains charger, the HF-90 MiniPack is also ideal for temporary base station applications.
