1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the NAT Tac/Com control heads. All derivative
products and interface cards will be covered by manual supplements, which can be
obtained from NAT as required.
Information in this section consists of purpose of equipment, features and specifications.
1.2 General
The Tac/Com control head provides exceptional flexibility and ease of operation while
using minimal panel space. In a Dzus panel height of only 4⅞ inches, up to four
transceiver systems can be controlled and accessed using a Tac/Com control head.
The controlled radio systems may be either NAT transceivers or combinations of
different manufacturer's transceivers.
Tac/Com controls are available in two basic families: Tac/Com I (both LED and LCD
displays), and Tac/Com II (LED only). Note that the Tac/Com I or ‘CH ‘ series control
heads have been discontinued since 1995. Tac/Com II control head variations include
2-, 3- or 4-transceiver support, master or slave versions and custom panel lighting, and
support expanded channel storage (up to 128 channels per radio), remote channel
selection, display auto-dimming, and full software configuration of the control head.
