About this file
This document is a detailed technical specification sheet for the PRC-158 radio, a military communication device with comprehensive technical capabilities. The radio operates across a wide frequency range from 30 MHz to 2.5 GHz, supporting narrowband and wideband communications with multiple frequency bands including VHF, UHF, SATCOM, and MUOS. It features advanced encryption capabilities using Sierra™ II-based Type 1 NSA-certified encryption, supports multiple encryption modes like KY-57 and KG-84C, and can store up to 300 encryption keys per channel.
The device offers robust physical and environmental specifications, designed for military use with MIL-STD-810G compliance for shock, vibration, and environmental conditions. It can operate in temperatures from -40°F to 131°F, withstand immersion in salt water, and meets EMI/RFI standards. The radio weighs between 8.9-12.7 lbs depending on battery configuration, is colored CARC green, and provides extensive communication interfaces including USB, Ethernet, RS-232, and multiple remote control options. Its transmission capabilities include various waveforms and modes such as AM/FM, SINCGARS, ANW2®, and supports both simplex and full duplex voice and data transmission.
