Comm-Tac
A Low Cost Approach to Interoperability
and Digital
Migration
![Page 2: Comm-Tac A Low Cost Approach to Interoperability and Digital Migration.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/56649ca65503460f94968428/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Comm-Tac Overview
• Comm-Tac is designed to meet a growing demand for a low-cost method of solving tactical interoperability problems
• It meets a challenging need for quick, immediate grouping of dissimilar radios
![Page 3: Comm-Tac A Low Cost Approach to Interoperability and Digital Migration.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/56649ca65503460f94968428/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Comm-Tac Overview
• Provides tactical interoperability on demand or on a permanent, full time basis
• Provides radio grouping at the hardware level, inexpensively and effectively

Connecting Radios
Radio resources are connected via radio termination cables purchased from Trident or made by the dealer
![Page 10: Comm-Tac A Low Cost Approach to Interoperability and Digital Migration.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/56649ca65503460f94968428/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Connecting Radios
In the previous demo diagram, the UHF Radio is connected to Port 1 and the MOTOTRBO™ radio is connected to Port 2

Making Groups
Simply press the button until the desired grouping is reached. Press once for assigning to Group A. Press twice to assign it to Group B. Press a third time and that resource returns to normal mode (ungrouped).
![Page 15: Comm-Tac A Low Cost Approach to Interoperability and Digital Migration.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/56649ca65503460f94968428/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
More Examples Nexedge VHF Trunking
P25 800 MHzUHF Conventional
Nexedge, P25 and VHF Trunking are grouped together. UHF is not grouped with any other radio and is in normal mode.

Dip Switches for set-up
![Page 26: Comm-Tac A Low Cost Approach to Interoperability and Digital Migration.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/56649ca65503460f94968428/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Set-up and Configuration
• Alignments and adjustments such as:– Squelch Settings
• COR
• VOX and sensitivity settings
• Audio Delay:– Adjusted by internal dip switches to support
trunking systems and channel acquisition time
![Page 27: Comm-Tac A Low Cost Approach to Interoperability and Digital Migration.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061616/56649ca65503460f94968428/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Set Up and Configuration
• Audio Deviation can also be adjusted
• When combining 25 KHz radios with 12.5 KHz or narrow band radios, some alignment may be necessary to balance audio, etc.
