1.2 PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
This operation manual provides the user with RF-5800V-HH Very High Frequency (VHF) Handheld Radio (often
referred to throughout this manual as RF-5800V-HH) operation instructions, as well as technical information
required to support Level I (operator) Maintenance.
1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The RF-5800V-HH is an advanced VHF handheld radio which provides reliable tactical communications
performance in a small, lightweight package that maximizes user mobility. The RF-5800V-HH provides reliable
Line-of-Sight (LOS) communications. Supported modulation modes are Frequency Modulation (FM) and 16 kbps
Wideband Frequency Shift Keying (WBFSK) data. The radio also supports Continuously Variable Slope Delta
(CVSD) voice communications. Communications can take place with handheld, manpack, mobile, and fixed-site
radio stations. The RF-5800V-HH covers 30 MHz to 107.99999 MHz, with three selectable output power levels of
0.25, 2, and 5 watts. The radio operates from a single, rechargeable handheld battery.
The menu driven interface is similar to the RF-5800V-MP. Up to 25 user-defined net presets provide complete radio
configuration including modulation, Communication Security (COMSEC) keys, and Transmission Security
1-2
(TRANSEC) keys. Quick selection of five nets can be done using the function switch on top of the radio. The radio
also supports remote control operation from a customer-supplied remote control terminal.
Additionally, the RF-5800V-HH provides Built-In Test Equipment (BITE) for radio operational test and battery
checks as well as a hold-up circuit to maintain programmed information when powered off.
1.4 FEATURES
The RF-5800V-HH offers the following features:
• Fixed frequency and Quicklook 1A frequency hopping operation
• Wireless cloning of radio configuration
• Net Scanning
• Situational Awareness Global Positioning System (GPS) position reporting

1.7 VOICE/DATA COMPATIBILITY
Refer to Table 3-2 for information on the capabilities of the RF-5800V-HH for voice or data in each modulation and
radio model.
1.8 COMPATIBILITY
Successful communications depends on using the correct encryption type and compatible radios. Table 1-2 provides
a list of compatible Harris radio models and encryption types.
The RF-5800V-HH is interoperable in non-secure, fixed-frequency modes with other VHF radio systems such as the
AN/PRC-119, AN/PRC-77, and AN/VRC-12. When communicating with older radio equipment, several net
compatibility issues must be considered when planning the net:
• Frequency - Older radio equipment does not support 10 Hz frequency resolution (fixed). When introducing
older radio equipment to the net, only utilize frequencies that ALL radios can support.
• Data/Voice - Older radio equipment may not support data or digital voice operating modes. When
introducing older radio equipment to the net, only utilize operating modes that ALL radios can support.
1-6
• Squelch - Older radio equipment does not support digital squelch. When introducing older radio equipment
to the net, only utilize squelch types that ALL radios can support.
