This operation manual provides the user with operating instructions for the RF-5800M-HH Export Multiband Handheld Radio (often referred to throughout this manual as RF-5800M-HH), as well as technical information required to support Level I (operator) Maintenance. 1.3. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION. The RF-5800M-HH is an advanced mulitband handheld radio which provides reliable tactical communications performance in a small, lightweight package that maximizes user mobility. The RF-5800M-HH can quickly shift between Line-of-Sight (LOS), ground-to-ground, and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) ground-to-air communications in the frequency band of 30 MHz to 512 MHz. Supported modulation modes are Frequency Modulation (FM), Amplitude Modulation (AM), 16 kbps Wideband Frequency Shift Keying (WBFSK), and Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) data. Communications can take place with handheld, manpack, mobile, and fixed-site stations in either encrypted or unencrypted modes. The RF-5800M-HH allows selectable transmit power levels, and operates from a single, rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-ION) handheld battery. NOTE The radio supports Continuously Variable Slope Delta (CVSD) voice and data communications only with other Harris Falcon II radios that use this mode. 1-2.

(21) A menu driven interface is used to access the radio operation and features. Up to 25 user-defined net presets provide complete frequency programming and other radio parameters including radio operating mode, Communications Security (COMSEC) keys, and Transmission Security (TRANSEC) keys. Quick selection of five nets can be done using the knob on top of the radio. The radio also supports remote control operation from a separate terminal. The RF-5800M-HH supports two types of radio net structures. A fixed frequency net is made up of a frequency, mode of operation, squelch setting, transmit power level, and a net name. A frequency hopping net is similar to a fixed frequency net except that the radio continuously changes the operating frequency, which must be synchronized between the transmitter and receiver. Additionally, the RF-5800M-HH provides Built-In Test Equipment (BITE) for radio operational test and battery checks, as well as a hold-up battery circuit to maintain programmed information when powered off. The RF-5800M-HH is available in several model configurations including: with or without Global Positioning System (GPS), green or black finish, Harris Citadel I® or Citadel II® encryption for secure voice and data, and 2 meter (m) or 20 meter (m) submersible ratings. NOTE Whenever 2 m or 20 m is discussed in this manual, it is referring to the salt water submersion rating in meters (not wavelength).. 1-3.

The following paragraphs explain how to set up and use net presets.. 3-18.

(59) 3.11.1. Overview - Contents of a Net Preset. A net preset associates an encryption key, voice/data setting, squelch setting, and power level to a fixed frequency or a hopnet. This hierarchy lessens the amount of manually programmed parameters in the radio. For instance, a user may use several encryption keys or data rates for a particular frequency or hopnet. All this information can be preprogrammed into the radio and stored as a net preset for simple access. 3.11.2. LCD Display - Preset Screens. The system preset screen, shown on the top of Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7, is used to view and change net presets. The channel preset screen, shown on the bottom of Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7, is used to view and change frequency or hopset settings. Some points to remember with these screens are:. •. To change settings, use the _ and ` keys to scroll to the setting, use ST to scroll choices, and press [ENT] to accept changes. When in FP, can only override settings when not transmitting.. • •. To toggle between the system preset and channel preset screen, use the 0. •. The receive signal strength meter (S-Meter) changes to display a power level meter when the RF-5800M-HH is transmitting.. • •. NORM is displayed for simple net presets.. key.. The battery meter is temporarily replaced with the volume level indicator when the volume button is pressed.. Only the net presets that are configured and enabled (activated in list) will be selectable. With the function switch in FP position, use the [+PRE-] buttons to scroll through the available net presets. Net presets 1 through 5 can always be selected directly from the function switch.. 3-19.

(60) NOTE Whenever the operator manually changes a preprogrammed net parameter, the radio places an asterisk (*) to the right of the net name on the LCD to indicate that changes have been made. In addition to receive and transmit frequencies, the operator can also change Data/Voice setting and squelch type. Changing parameters in this way is called a temporary override. For more information on temporary overrides, refer to Paragraph 3.11.6. NOTE The radio function switch must be in the FP position to use the [+PRE-] buttons.. 3-20.

(63) 3.11.3. Select a Net Preset. Net presets are selected by using the [+PRE-] buttons to scroll the choices. NOTE Function switch must be in the FP position to use the [+PRE-] buttons. The [+PRE-] buttons are disabled when the function switch is placed in 1 - 5. 3.11.4. Data/Voice (D/V) Settings. The Data/Voice (D/V) field can be changed to Voice (VOC), Data/Voice (D/V), or DATA. The choices correspond to the types of information that can be transmitted and received. Refer to Paragraph 3.9.1 for compatibility. The PTT will be ignored if DATA is selected. 3.11.5. Squelch (SQL) Settings. The RF-5800M-HH supports digital squelch, analog tone squelch, and analog noise squelch. Noise and Tone Squelch can be modified from the SQL field. Digital squelch requires that the radio receive a specific digital waveform in order to break the radio's squelch. Analog tone squelch requires that a 150 Hz tone be transmitted along with the normal radio traffic in order to break the receive radio's squelch. Analog noise squelch requires a signal that is strong enough to break the radio's squelch be received on the radio's receive frequency. Digital squelch is only available if the radio is in the CT position. If the radio is changed to PT from CT when VOC or D/V is selected, the squelch type returns to the programmed analog squelch type. The RF-5800M-HH can transmit EIA-standard Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) tones in Frequency Modulation (FM) mode, for use with repeater systems that utilize CTCSS. Refer to Paragraph 4.5.2.2 for details on configuring the radio for CTCSS. 3-23.

(64) 3.11.6. Radio Programming Versus Temporary Overrides. It is important to understand the differences between programming and temporary overrides. The radio is programmed either from the keypad or by loading a programming plan from VHF-UHF Radio Programming Application (RPA) software. Programmed parameters are stored in non-volatile Random Access Memory (RAM) until they are zeroized via user command. RAM is capacitor-backed for a short period after the main battery is removed. A charged battery must be reinstalled within a short period to avoid losing programming data. The operator can temporarily override some parameters from their programmed value. These changes are only valid until the operator selects another net. Once this occurs, the temporary changes are lost. The operator must select the SAVE command from the OPT menu in order to save the temporary overrides as programmed values. See Figure 3-9. NOTE Saving temporarily overridden net parameters without coordinating those net changes with the other net members can compromise net and radio performance. NOTE Performing a temporary override may cause parameters of lower precedence to be overridden. This is to ensure that all radio parameters are consistent and work with one another. The operator is not notified of these additional overrides.. 3-24.

(68) 3.13.1. SAVE. To save changes made from net preset displays, press the [OPT] button, then select SAVE and press [ENT]. For more information on net programming, refer to Paragraph 4.5.2. 3.13.2. COMSEC. To view the Communications Security (COMSEC) setting for the active net, press the [OPT] button, select COMSEC, then press [ENT]. The user next enters the Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) and the Citadel Algorithm Modification (CAM). CAM allows the user to add an additional layer of COMSEC encryption and is not programmable from the RF-5800M-HH radio. CAM encryption is part of the initial programming process and is loaded at the same time the radio plan is loaded. For TEK, enter the encryption key and then the Crypto Mode. Valid mode options are:. •. MINERR - This is the default mode. When using MINERR, the start of the transmission must be heard to receive an encrypted transmission. There is a crypto sync that precedes the waveform. This mode is supported across all net types: Simple, Directed Calling, and Wireless IP.. •. RESYNC - This mode allows a radio on simple voice/data nets (not directed calling or wireless IP nets) to receive an encrypted transmission already in progress. The radio does not have to hear the start of the waveform, but can power on and start receiving in mid-transmission. RESYNC is more susceptible to noise than MINERR.. 3.13.3. Speaker (SPKR). To toggle the radio speaker on or off, press the [OPT] button, then select SPKR. Use the up/down arrows to select ON or OFF. 3-28.

For FM, HIGH power is 5 watts, MEDIUM power is 2 watts, and LOW power is 0.25 watt. For Amplitude Modulation (AM), HIGH power is 5 watts, MEDIUM power is 2 watts, and LOW power is 1 watt. Refer to Paragraph 4.5.2 for information on how to program the power level for a net preset.. 3-29.

(70) 3.13.8. ALERTS. This menu allows the user to:. • • •. View stored Alert messages from the optional Falcon Watch™ Sensor Alarm System. Reset the filtering (Display All) for any Sensor Nodes that were previously filtered (Ignored). Delete all stored Alert messages.. For detailed information about Falcon Watch™ Sensor Alerts, refer to Paragraph B.7. 3.13.9. HQTOD. This menu allows the user to:. • •. Set the Time-Of-Day (TOD) manually. Set the TOD using Global Positioning System (GPS) and perform a GPS sync.. 3.13.10 LOCKSETS (Hopping Only) A lockset specifies frequencies that cannot be used during list or wideband frequency hopping. For more information about locksets, refer to Paragraph 4.5.1.4. To view the frequency hopping lockset information for the active net, press the [OPT] button, select LOCKSETS, then press [ENT]. NOTE LOCKSETS data is only available when the active net is a frequency hopping net. LOCKSETS will not display on a fixed frequency net. 3-30.

(71) NOTE Locksets that have been programmed into the radio apply to all frequency hopping nets. 3.14. NET SCANNING. The RF-5800M-HH can be set for scan operation by placing the function switch in SCAN position. The radio will search fixed frequency net presets for the presence of a Radio Frequency (RF) signal. The user can program a list of up to 25 net presets into the scan list. This list is separate from the list of net presets that are activated in the list (for use with the +PRE- button). NOTE Net Scanning is not available in frequency hopping modes. The maximum number of nets that can be reliably scanned depends upon whether the radio is in PT or CT. A full 25-net scan list can be used in PT. Reliable operation in CT requires two procedural modifications because of the preamble synchronization required by encrypted transmissions. First, the calling radio should have Robust Preamble turned on (refer to Paragraph 4.8.1). This extends the transmitters preamble to give the scanning radio enough time to synchronize after it scans all other nets in the scan list. Second, the number of nets in a CT scan list should be no more than five with a sixth Receive (RX) Priority Net. It is possible to scan more nets in CT, but some calls may be missed. There are two ways to scan: automatic and manual. Use the [CLR] button to toggle between the two. In automatic scan, the radio scans each net in the list for the presence of an RF signal. If a signal is present on a net, the radio stops scanning and holds on that net for the programmed hold time. If no hold time is specified, the radio remains on that net until signal presence is lost or the user presses [CLR] to continue automatic scan. If signal 3-31.
