Tac/Com Control Head Manual

Section 1 Description

1.1Introduction

This manual contains information on the NAT Tac/Com control heads. All derivative products and interface cards will be covered by manual supplements, which can be obtained from NAT as required.

Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.

1.2General

The Tac/Com control head provides exceptional flexibility and ease of operation while using minimal panel space. In a Dzus panel height of only 4⅞ inches, up to four transceiver systems can be controlled and accessed using a Tac/Com control head. The controlled radio systems may be either NAT transceivers or combinations of different manufacturer's transceivers.

Tac/Com controls are available in two basic families: Tac/Com I (both LED and LCD displays), and Tac/Com II (LED only). Note that the Tac/Com I or ‘CH ‘ series control heads have been discontinued since 1995. Tac/Com II control head variations include 2-, 3- or 4-transceiver support, master or slave versions and custom panel lighting, and support expanded channel storage (up to 128 channels per radio), remote channel selection, display auto-dimming, and full software configuration of the control head.
