A

None

19
Q

In what mode would you use the TRI MRS in to provide tacsat?

A

Rebro

20
Q

A

White

22
Q

What 2 aircraft can UKSF fit the MICS crate to?

A

C-130, CH-47

23
Q

Describe a red retrans?

A

Both sides are different crypto States

24
Q

Which radio on the MICS is used through the 100w amp? And why is this the case?

A

Tacsat radio/ only the tacsat a/e can withstand the power

25
Q

What are the security implications of leaving a red retrans on a hill top unmanned ?

A

Red retrans
Retrans cable
2* 117f
DMC 120 and broadband A/E

28
Q

When using a black retrans what must the Rx radio be set to?

A

Rx only
