KEY FEATURES/USER BENEFITS
Automate Your HF Communications Systems With This User-Friendly Processor from The Original Inventor of ALE


  • FED-STD-1045 and MIL-STD-188-141A (MS-141A) ALE and SELSCANŽ* interoperability (bilingual)
  • Improved communications reliability
  • Twenty programmable and selectable scan lists
  • Sounding and uni- or bi-directional Link Quality Analysis (LQA)
  • Special LQA data base algorithms reduce sounding requirements (adaptive sounding)
  • Listen-before-transmit feature
  • Automatic calls accepted while scanning, calling, or sounding
  • Unique time-saving automatic foldback channel selection algorithms
  • Return-to-Scan - Automatically via timer, over-the-air command, or manually
  • Order wire data message capability via internal data modem - MS-141A AMD
  • Unique conference calling and conversational data mode protocols
  • 19-inch rack mount adapter option available
  • Built-in test (BIT)

The ALE equipment is available on General Services Administration (GSA) Contract No. GS-35F-5926H to all U.S. Federal Agencies.


Used With Rockwell Collins HF Radios:
  • HF-9000
  • 718U/ARC-174
  • ARC-1901
  • HF-802

Note(s):
(1) The 309M-1 processor will operate with all ARC-190 transciever versions but performs best when used with the RT-134(V)8. Other RT versions could result in intermittent display issues during turn-on.

(2) SELSCANŽ is a registered trademark of Rockwell


OVERVIEW

A Rockwell Collins 309M-1 ALE processor equipped HF communication system provides both enhanced communications reliability and operational simplicity. Compliance with new Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) interoperability standards, combined with over 20 years of prior experience in the development and fielding of HF ALE systems and operator interfaces, make the 309M-1 the best engineered "second generation" ALE control available. The 309M-1 includes a host of ALE features which provide advanced system operational capabilities well beyond those guaranteed by compliance with the requirements of the new ALE standards. The 309M-1 ALE Processor, a user-friendly hardware/software implementation from the original inventors of ALE.
