Tac/Com Control Head Manual

1.3.3Radio Capability Increase With Tac/Com

Wherever possible, NAT has increased the capability of other transceivers via the Tac/Com control head, and those features are summarized below, compared to the original controls:

*NAT NT-series Radios have the capability shown. Tac/Com controls can provide 32 PL tones for Flexcomm. Tac/Com II can also provide an internal tone upgrade for the RT-9600/7200 to provide all 32 standard EIA CTCSS tones (‘U’ interface).

PL = Private Line (also known as CTCSS)

DPL = Digital Private Line

W.E.D. = Wulfsberg Electronics Division

Note: Only NAT's own NT-series transceivers support all the features provided by Tac/Com controls. Tac/Com controls cannot give a radio functions of which it is inherently incapable. For example, older crystal-controlled Flitefone 40's do not become agile radios when connected to a Tac/Com head, and Flexcomm radios do not acquire high speed scanning or DPL capability.
