The 3046 is a low profi le, 125 W HF antenna tuning unit

designed to deliver high performance and reliability in the

world’s harshest environments. It provides high speed and

effi cient tuning of short and long whip antennas across

the full operational HF band.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

With a 125 W RF power handling capability, the 3046 can be used for

voice (including Frequency Hopping) and data operation over the full

2 to 30 MHz frequency band. The tuner has an unlimited tune from

memory capacity, and using a state-of-the-art tuning algorithm, new

frequencies are tuned in typically less than one second.

The 3046’s innovative circuit design ensures power delivery to the

antenna is maximised, and receive mode performance is optimised

by the internal receive mode amplifi er. These features combine

to provide an easy-to-use, trouble-free, high performance mobile

antenna solution.

COMPLIANT TO MIL-STD-810G

The high strength and lightweight alloy housing of the 3046

ensures that it is capable of withstanding the severe environmental

conditions encountered in mobile environments. The unit is designed

to meet MIL-STD-810G for Dust and Vibration and is waterproof to

1 m as per IP68 Standard.

TRANSCEIVER INTEGRATION

The control interface of the 3046 is fully integrated with Codan’s

HF transceivers so that tuning is transparent to the operator. If

there is a tune problem, the transceiver issues an audible and visual

warning, however an override capability exists for emergency

situations. The 3046 is designed for full compatibility with all modes

of operation, including receiver scanning, ALE (Automatic Link

Establishment) and Frequency Hopping.

ANTENNA & MOUNT OPTIONS

The 3046 is offered with a 3 m carbon fi ber MIL spec whip

antenna, MIL spec rubber spring and NATO hole pattern

base. The 3 m whip can be confi gured for NVIS operation

using the tie down kit included and can also be extended

to 7 m with the 3 section Extension & Guy Kit for semi-

permanent stationary use. An additional antenna accessory

is the 9 m tactical long wire kit designed to attach directly

to the NATO base stud.
