from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radio set R-142

The R-142 ( Russian Р-142 ) is a radio set . The device, which was developed in the Soviet Union, was used in the Soviet Army and other armed forces primarily as a command vehicle and to ensure radio communications for the tactical and operational management level. The transmission of encrypted voice and data information was possible by installing key devices. Since the radio equipment used is now out of date, the radio equipment set in the Russian armed forces has meanwhile been replaced by the vehicles of the R-149BM family.

Structure of the sentence

The radio set consists of

  • the base vehicle
  • several equipped radios
  • optionally upgradeable encryption devices
  • the AB-1P / 30-M1 electrical unit

Base vehicle

A GAZ-66 all- terrain truck is used as the base vehicle . The radios and other equipment were installed in a box body.

The vehicle was equipped with a filter ventilation system that offered protection against radioactive fallout and chemical and biological warfare agents.

Radios

The radio set was equipped with one R-130 radio, two R-111 radios, one R-109 radio with a P-180 magnetic tape recorder and one R-123 armored radio .

The R-130 is a shortwave radio that operates in the frequency range from 1.5 to 10.99 MHz. With a transmission power of 12 to 40 W, a range of 20 to 50 km was achieved with a rod antenna, and up to 350 km with a dipole antenna.

The R-111 is a VHF radio with frequency modulation that could also be used for data transmission. The device had 1281 fixed frequencies in the frequency range from 20 to 52 MHz. With a transmitting power of 75 W, a range of 25 to 35 km was possible with the rod antenna while moving, and 50 to 60 km when stationary.

The R-123, also a VHF radio with frequency modulation, had a usable frequency range of 20 to 51.5 MHz. With a transmission power of 20 W, the range was around 20 km.

A VHF radio of the type R-809 was scaffolded for use as a hunter control. The R-809 used amplitude modulation as a type of modulation and had a transmission power of 0.5 W. In addition, there was a P-180 magnetic recorder for recording and playing back radio traffic. The device used commercially available tapes as the recording medium.

Various key devices, such as the T 219 voice key device, could optionally be installed. With the T 219, covered long-distance calls could be secured with limited security via HF and VHF channels as well as via radio relay and wire communication channels.
