R-2368B(V)1/URR
RECEIVER
assuredcommunications
The R-2368B(V)1/URR is a high-performance, cost-effective, VLF/LF/MF/HF receiver covering the frequency range from 10 kHz to 30 MHz in 1 Hz increments. Using modern microprocessor control technology, this receiver provides the operational
es required for the professional communicator, while still maintaining the
featur "touch" of the familiar tuning controls of older designs. The excellent RF performance of the R-2368B(V)1/URR receiver, as exhibited by the superb intermodulation, reciprocal mixing characteristics, and frequency agility, complement the unit's control features in providing state-of-the-art communications capability.
The ability to enter and store up to 100 channels from the front panel or over remote control, makes the R-2368B(V)1/URR a versatile communications tool for surveillance, networking, or general purpose receiving. Each of the 100 channels may be programmed for frequency, mode, IF; BW, BFO, FSK and AGC settings. The channels may be scanned at variable rates, either sequentially or in programmed groups, with the capability of being selected by the automatic scan control feature. An internal FSK Demodulator is also provided.
The receiver contains a comprehensive built-in test equipment (BITE) network, which allows extensive microprocessor-controlled self-testing to isolate faults at the modular level. Surveillance BITE monitors the RF input, the power supply, and the frequency stability.
Manual tuning and channel selection is activated via a front panel keypad or tuning knob. Operating parameters such as detection mode, filter bandwidth (typically: CW – 0.3 kHz, AM – 6 and 16 kHz, USB/LSB – 2.7 kHz, and FM – 16 kHz), and AGC mode (Slow, Medium, Fast, Data, and Manual) are pushbutton selectable.
Receiver operating parameters and self-testing results are displayed on two front-panel numeric and alphanumeric displays. Full remote control capability is accomplished with an internal remote control system compatible with MIL-STD-188C, EIA Standard RS-232C, or RS-422 formats.
The rear panel contains 50 ohm connectors for RF antenna input; filtered 455 kHz IF output, unfiltered 455 kHz; ISB output; 5 MHz frequency standard inputs; and frequen­cy standard output, local control lines, and other functions. The receiver is supplied with rack mount kit including rack shock pins and shock blocks.
The R-2368B(V)1/URR offers a fully solid-state design with all components substantially derated for long-term, dependable operation. This basic design concept coupled with an extensive BITE self-diagnostics capability and modular packaging, result in rapid maintenance by personnel with limited training.
The self-check sequence is automatically performed by momentarily pressing the TEST button located on the front panel. Normal length of the self-test for all assemblies is five seconds with all tests performed sequentially following the RF signal path. If it is determined that a fault exists in a particular assembly, that assembly number and the corresponding fault code number defining the type of failure are indicated on the receiver's front-panel alphanumeric display. Because of the BITE system and modular equipment design, demonstrated MTTR is less than ten minutes.
