Motorola LST-5C, P/N 01-P22963H003 SATCOM UHF Radio Satellite Terminal

Motorola's LST-5C Lightweight Satellite Terminal is an enhanced, small (209 cu. in., 8.4 lbs) UHF tactical SAT-COM/LOS transceiver. The LST Series has been in continuous production since 1985. This technically innovative radio, with microprocessor control and EPROM storage is designed for rugged reliability and user friendly ease of operation.

Relative received signal strength can be displayed on an easy-to-read, lighted LCD. Transmitter output  power is adjustable in 2 watt steps. All modes of operation, frequencies, bands, and preselects are chosen through four push-buttons. In SELCALL (select-call) mode, the caller selects and keys any one of the 75 designated units throgh a digitally-coded transmission; a visual and audible handshake is received and the caller initiates a message. A similar procedure establishes a conference call to all units.

The transceiver operates wide band (25 kHz) Am/FM voice or data, in either plain or encrypted text; or narrow band (5 kHz) 1200 BPSK and 2400 SBPSK data or digitized voice.

Current applications include portable manpack, vehicular, airborne/rotocraft shipboard, remote and fixed station.

REDUCED POWER CONSUMPTION
-high efficiency transmitter- typical SATCOM uplinks require less than 2.0 Amps at 24 Vdc
-extended battery life (not included)- 20% increase
-efficient LCD display
-Solid State T/R switch

GREATER MISSION FLEXIBILITY
-Extended duty cycle-fewer batteries per mission
