  • Excellent RF performance

Brief Description The R&S®MR6000A covers the frequency range from 30 MHz to 400 MHz and supports the NATO frequency hopping methods (TRANSEC) HAVE QUICK and SATURN. Integrated NATO encryption (COMSEC) is available as an option to protect voice and data transmissions against eavesdropping. The transceiver is interoperable with the NATO KY-58 and KY-100 encryption devices as well as the ELCRODAT 4-2 from Rohde & Schwarz.
