Tac/Com Control Head Manual SM06 Rev. 4.10
1.3.1 Interface Considerations
Tac/Com offers direct plug compatibility for replacement of C-962/A and C-722/A control
heads (for use with the RT-9600 and RT-7200), including the second audio connector.
For USFS applications, Tac/Com provides some additional capability when used with the
RT-9600. Full guard receiver control can be brought out on the front panel, and the
limited tone capability of the RT-9600 (8 variable tones) can be replaced with the internal
tone capability of the Tac/Com ‘U’ interface, which provides all 32 standard CTCSS tones.
This interface remains plug-compatible, and also eliminates the awkward external tone
encoder required on USFS contracts. A USFS-compatible ‘V’ interface is provided for
use with NT150-050 guard-equipped radios, and the 'H' interface is designed for use with
the NTX138-050.
For use with existing Flexcomm installations, NAT provides an adapter cable (p/n
FC41-000 Flexcable) that permits direct connection from C-1000 airframe connectors
to the ‘F’ interface.
1.3.2 Mixed Transceiver System
The example shows a four radio Tac/Com control head running a mixed transceiver
group, to illustrate what is possible with the interface flexibility of Tac/Com internal
architecture. Transceivers may be a combination of fixed and agile radios, with and
without scanning, and can be from any of the supported interfaces that NAT provides.
See section 1.6.5 or consult Product Support at NAT for further information.
