Overview
The C-2299/VRC is used between receiver-transmitters of Radio Sets AN/VRC-49 and AN/VRC- 45 to provide automatic retransmission of signals between radio sets that are too far apart to communicate directly with each other.
Receiver-Transmitter No. 1 and terminal radio No. 2 operate on one frequency (F1), and receiver-transmitter No. 2 and terminal radio No. 4 operate on another frequency (F2). For retransmission operation, the radios in the system must operate on squelch mode.
When the C-2299/VRC RETRANS switch is set to ON, the retransmission of signals and keying control are automatically passed through the C-2299/VRC to the retransmission site receiver-transmitters. When the C-2299/VRC RE- TRANS switch is set to OFF, the user has control of the two receiver-transmitters from the audio accessories connected to the C-2299/VRC. In position 1 of RAD TRANS switch, receiver- transmitter No. 1 is controlled; in position 2 of RAD TRANS switch, receiver-transmitter No. 2 is controlled.
Audio accessories can be connected to the C-2299/VRC to enable the radio user to communicate through the retransmission site receiver- transmitters with the terminal radios. When the C-2299/VRC RETRANS switch is set to ON, the radio user cannot communicate with the terminal radios, but can hear the transmission occurring between the terminal radios.
However, when the C-2299/VRC is connected to the AM-1780/VRC of the radio-intercom system the receiving circuits of the receiver- transmitters No. 1 and 2 are not available at the C-2299/VRC. Thus, radio communication is conducted from the crew member control boxes. Also, for the retransmission operation, the INSTALLATION switch of the AM-1780/VRC is set to the RETRANS position. Under these conditions, the retransmission signals are available on the ALL position of the crew member control boxes.
Use as an auxiliary interface for microphones and headsets
The C-2299 is the only way to properly use a microphone directly on the VIC-1.
