1-15. General Operating Features
The receiver/transmitter used in models AN/URC-100, AN/URC-101 and AN/UBC-104 is a solid-state voice line-of-sight radio set normally used to receive and transmit plain text voice messages. They can also be used with external
COMSEC equipment to transmit and receive cipher text (encrypted or scrambled) messages. The AN/URC-100 and
AN/URC-101 operate in the 116 to 150 MHz VHF band and in the 225 to 400 MHz UHF band The AN/URC-104 radio operates in the 30 to 88 MHz VHF band and in the 225 to 400 MHz UHF band. The three models are tunable across their frequency ranges in 25 kHz steps.
Operating power for the receiver/transmitter comes from the battery pack that supplies -28 V to operate the radio circuits and the front panel lamps. The display operates from +5 V which is stepped down from the +28V.
The receiver/transmitter should be operated at a 9:1 receive to transmit duty cycle. When operating at this ratio, the batteries will last 8 hours for low power (5 watts) output and 6 hours for high power (20 watts) output. Operating in the beacon mode the batteries will last 1.5 hours with low power (5 watt) output.

being transmitted or received can be viewed on a display and the panel backlighting turned on to show that frequency on a numerical display. The frequency display and panel lighting are normally off to conserve battery power
1-17. Receive Mode
The receive mode is enabled when power is applied to the radio and the handset push-to-talk switch is not pressed.
Because the switch is not pressed, the push-to-talk (PTT) line switches the unit so that incoming signals from the VHF or
UHF antenna pass through the UHF/VHF switch to the RCV SIGNAL line. They are then demodulated and converted by the receiver circuits to form the RCV AUDIO signal. The receiver demodulates the incoming signals according to the settings on the front panel frequency select switches. These settings are programmed into the receiver circuits through
1-18
the internal speaker and the handset earphone. If the speaker is turned on, the incoming signal is heard through it and the handset. If the speaker is turned off. the message is routed through the RCV AUDIO line to the handset earphone where it can be heard only by the operator.
1-18. Transmit Mode
The transmit mode is enabled when power is applied to the radio and the handset PTT switch is pressed. When the switch is pressed, it generates the PTT signal. After passing through the front panel. PTT is applied to the transmitter and turns on the necessary transmit circuits. PTT also switches the transmit/receive switch to the transmit position. As soon as the push-to-talk switch is pressed, the radio is ready to transmit the operator's message. When the operator speaks into the handset microphone, the XMT AUDIO line carries the voice signal through the front panel to the XMT
AUDIO line and the transmitter circuits. The message is transmitted on the frequency selected on the front panel rotary push-button switches. This frequency was programmed into the transmitter circuits by signals on the FREO SELECTION
transmit/receive switch, and the UHF/VHF switch. Depending on whether a UHF or VHF frequency was selected, the
UHF/VHF switch
1-19

routes the modulated signal to the proper antenna for transmission. The transmitter outputs either 1.5, 5, or 20 watts of
1-19. Cipher Text Receive or Transmit
Cipher text messages, also referred to as encrypted/ decrypted or scrambled" messages, may also be transmitted or received by the Radio Sets. This type of operation requires additional encryption/decryption equipments such as the KY-
57, KY-58, or KY-65. The Radio Set and the encryptor/decryptor must be connected together by a cable from the
TEST/REMOTE front panel connector on the AN/URC-100 or the X MODE front panel connector on the AN/URC-101
1-20. Receiver Scanning Mode
In the receiver scanning mode, the front panel switches are preset so that one main receiver circuit frequency and two guard frequencies are scanned any time power is turned on and the PTT switch is not pressed. Signals entering the radio through either the UHF or VHF antenna and UHF/VHF switch are applied to the receiver circuits. These circuits
1-20
constantly monitor the frequencies set into the front panel rotary select switches which are programmed into the receiver by the FREQ SELECTION lines. When a transmission is detected on one of the preset frequencies, the scan stops. The receiver then monitors the detected frequency and passes the received signal through the RCV AUDIO line to the speaker or handset earphone. After the message is finished, the receiver again scans the selected frequencies for another incoming message.
1-21. Beacon Mode
This is an automatic mode in which the radio transmits a continuous signal tone on a frequency that is set by the operator. The operator cannot transmit or receive voice messages while in the beacon mode of operation. In this mode, the front panel BEACON switch is turned on, enabling the transmitter circuits through the XMT AUDIO line. The frequency of transmission is programmed into the transmitter by the signal on the FREQ SELECTION line. Placing the radio in the beacon mode automatically turns the transmit/receive switch to transmit so that the beacon tone passes to the UHF/VHF switch. Selection of a UHF or VHF beacon frequency automatically switches the UHF/VHF switch so that the signal is routed to and transmitted by the proper antenna.
1-21
1-22. Relay Mode
In the relay mode of operation, two radio sets are connected “back-to-back” so that signals received by one unit are retransmitted by the other unit on another frequency. The operating frequencies must have a minimum separation of 2
MHz. The physical separation of the R/T units should be greater than 50 feet or have a physical barrier between them.
When one radio set receives a signal, the squelch output signal from it keys the transmit of the other radio set. The
RCVR AUDIO output of the receive radio set drives the PTT input of the transmit radio set, which modulates the transmitted carrier with the audio signal detected by the receive radio set.

CHAPTER 2
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Section I. DESCRIPTION AND USE OF OPERATOR CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
Subject Para.
Page
2-1. General
This section contains a functional description of the controls and indicators required to set up and operate the Radio Set.
2-2. Introduction
This section includes general information and all instructions for setting up and operating the Radio Sets in various operating configurations. These instructions should be followed to: unpack, install, select proper configuration, assemble the Radio Set, interconnect with other radios or COMSEC equipment, position front panel controls, and establish communications. As the Radio Sets are multichannel and can be configured for use in any UHF or VHF communication link, operating parameters must be established prior to beginning a mission.
2-1
These parameters are: frequencies, type of modulation, and whether the link is unsecured or secured.
a.
Operating Frequencies. The Radio Sets will operate in either the VHF or UHF frequency bands. The AN/URC-
100 and AN/URC-101 VHF range is from 116.000 MHz to 149.975 MHz and the AN/URC-104 VHF ranges are from 30.000 MHz to 87.975 MHz. All three of the radio’s UHF ranges are from 225.000 to 399.975 MHz. Eight frequencies may be selected from either or both bands and stored in function selector switch positions 1 through
6, GD A, and GD B radio channel. However, when the communication link requires different transmit and receive frequencies, the receive frequency must be assigned to channel 1 and the transmit to channel 2. These frequencies will remain in storage until changed, even with the radio power turned off.
b. Carrier Modulation. All radios in the communications link must be set for the same type of modulation. All three Radio Sets will operate with AM or FM at UHF frequencies. The AN/URC-100 and AN/URC-101 radios will also operate with AM or FM at the VHF frequencies. However, the AN/URC-104 will only operate with FM at the
VHF frequencies.
2-2
c.
Secured Communications. The radios will operate with KY-56, KY-58, or KY-65 secured communications links. However, all secured equipment and cryptographic keys must be the same. Additional interconnection cables and operating procedures are required that are not part of the Radio Set or described in this manual.
d. Non-Line-Of-Sight Communications. The radios may be configured for relay or retransmit to extend the range, when obstacles are in the line of sight, or to translate frequencies to allow communications with radios operating on two different frequencies. When this configuration is used, additional cables are required to connect two units together that are not described in this manual. When satellite relays are used, the AN/URC-101 or
AN/URC-104 and different antennas and cables are required. The units must be operating on specific frequency channels and with FM modulation. Also, the receive frequency must be stored in channel 1 and the transmit frequency in channel 2, as the satellite receives and transmits on different frequencies.
Additional information and equipment are required if the Radio Sets are installed in an airborne or vehicular mount or where the Remote Control Unit (RCU) is removed from the front panel and located away from the Radio Set.
Instructions will be given to you on how to set up or operate in these configurations when required.

This fine document...
Was brought to you by me:
Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals
Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not letting you give those free manuals to your friends?
I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US
Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share, republish, sell and so on.
I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in search engines:
