• Datron PRC1099A, 3: Operation 3-6 PRC1099A-MSOP • Change the channel frequency. The PRC1099A can change to new frequencies as quickly as you can turn the Channel knob. Unless the jammer is using very advanced jamming equipment, it takes time to find the operating frequency and to start jamming. Many different procedures can minimize jamming. Two typical procedures follow: 1. Use specified channel frequencies in specific time slots. For example, use channel 1 from 00 minutes to 15 minutes past the hour, and so on, in a similar sequence. 2. Set up a schedule of frequen

Single Sideband The PRC1099A provides voice communications in SSB mode. This mode provides more efficient operation for high frequency communications than the FM (frequency modulation) mode used for tactical communications in the 30 to 88 MHz range. SSB has almost completely replaced the earlier AM (amplitude modulated

• Datron PRC1099A, 1: Introduction 1-4 PRC1099A-MSOP increase in efficiency, as the carrier uses 2/3 of the power and carries no useful information; the two sidebands contain identical information. This means that the SSB transmitter puts all of the power into one information carrying sideband. This makes the PRC1099A as effective as a 120W AM transmitter. Apart from the improved efficiency, the SSB signal occupies less than half the frequency space of the AM signal and permits much better utilization of the crowded HF spectrum. The SSB signal is more intelligible at poor signal levels and is far less affected by selective fading and interference. To receive SSB,
