3031 HF CROSSPATCH™
FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Codan’s 3031 HF Crosspatch™ is a practical, effective
and affordable solution for extending the reach of a
conventional VHF / UHF network beyond the horizon
using Codan’s HF transceivers.
The 3031 also enables organisations to extend existing
CODAN™ HF networks with VHF / UHF hand-held radios
that are carried by field operators when away from base
or their vehicle.
With the 3031’s unique, flexible design and
straightforward user commands, organisations can
extend existing HF or VHF / UHF networks into remote
Easy to use areas with minimal investment in new infrastructure.
Easy to install
Compact & lightweight for EASY TO USE
mobile use The 3031 Crosspatch™ uses a straightforward set of over-the-air
DTMF tones or Press-To-Talk (PTT) clicks from a VHF / UHF radio to
Uses industry standards initiate calls from a CODAN™ HF Transceiver. These calls can be
Rugged & reliable used to gain assistance in an emergency or as part of normal daily
communications, such as checking back to base. Alternatively, calls
can be made from a CODAN™ HF Transceiver to field operators
using VHF / UHF radios. With the extensive capabilities of Codan’s
HF Transceivers, a wide range of applications are available.
EASY TO INSTALL
CODAN™ HF Transceivers automatically enable the crosspatch
functionality when a 3031 is detected. Only a single cable is required
to connect the 3031 to the VHF / UHF radio. Installation and
alignment does not require special tools.
DESIGNED FOR MOBILE USE
Its compact and lightweight design makes the 3031 ideal for vehicle
installations where space is limited and ruggedness is essential.
It includes advanced HFCommander technology to overcome
the difficulties typically experienced with traditional
HF Crosspatch™ equipment.
INDUSTRY STANDARDS
The 3031 Crosspatch™ has been designed to complement any
existing VHF / UHF radio network. By using industry standard DTMF
signalling and a flexible VHF / UHF hardware interface, the 3031 has
been designed to have the widest compatibility possible with existing
VHF / UHF infrastructure.
A subset of functionality has been provided to VHF / UHF radios
without DTMF capability through the use of a sequence of
PTT key clicks.
