SINCGARS: Keep it Cool
June 4, 2020 — Dear Half-Mast, the unit I’m with keeps our SINCGARS stored in our vehicles (HMMWVs, Bradleys, M1 tanks, etc). The temperatures here routinely hit triple digits and can easily go a hundred degrees or higher inside the vehicles. And the radios often stay there for days or weeks at a time between operations.

One issue is that the RT-1523G’s HUB CCA is only rated to last 5-10 years, depending on the use of the RT. But once it expires and is replaced, the HUB installation and expiration date stay the same on the radio display. Click more to learn how to resolve this issue... MORE
