1-2. Purpose and Use

micomTrooper (MICOM-2RS) transceiver is a backpack version of the robust MICOM-2R mobile radio. For backpack operation, micomTrooper is powered by a lightweight Lithium ion rechargeable battery, has selectable power output of 5 to 20 W and high sensitivity, and uses a foldable whip antenna matched by a built-in automatic antenna tuner unit. When necessary, micomTrooper can be programmed to reach a power output of 50 W, and can also be used with dipole, long-wire and many other types of broadband antennas for static operation.

These capabilities provide reliable long-range HF-SSB radio communications in a rugged yet lightweight backpack configuration. Designed to meet the needs of users who carry out on-foot operations in remote areas, it is built to withstand years of shock and vibration as well as severe weather conditions. micomTrooper is certified for dependability and durability, and complies with US standard MIL- STD-810F.

The micomTrooper is equipped with a military-type handset, whip antenna, cables and connectors, delivering superior quality in a radio priced to fit the needs of a wide range of organizations. For backpack operations, the micomTrooper is carried in a convenient, lightweight harness that completely envelops the transceiver.

The durable aluminum frame of the harness protects against damage and allows placing the transceiver on ground for static operations.

Figure 1-1 shows a general view of a micomTrooper ready for backpack operation, as seen when the harness protection flap is opened.
