What is an oe254?
The OE-254/GRC antenna group is designed for broadband, omni-directional ground-based communications. It is intended for use with radio sets AN/VRC-12, AN/VRC-43 through AN/ VRC-49, AN/VRC-53, AN/VRC-64, AN/GRC-125 and AN/GRC-160 but will also function with the AN/PRC-25 and AN/PRC-77 radio sets.
How far does an OE 254 reach?
| OE-254 planning ranges | ||
|---|---|---|
| Average Terrain | 57.9 km (36 Miles) | 19.3 km (12 Miles) |
| Difficult Terrain | 48.3 km (30 Miles) | |
| OE to Vehicle Whip | ||
| Average Terrain | 48.3 km (30 Miles) | 12.9 km (8 Miles) |
How tall is oe254?
41.75 ft Approx
The Antenna Group OE-254/GRC is designed for use in all climates and terrains. Max Height: 41.75 ft Approx.
Where is the serial number on an OE 254?
Look inside the RF connector cap.
What replaced the OE 254?
RAMI254-EXT
The RAMI254-EXT is a replacement for the OE-254/GRC Antenna Group. It is comprised of fewer piece parts, allowing for quicker assembly and erection, along with being capable of both VHF and UHF operation modes.
What is sincgars radio?
Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) is a Combat-net radio (CNR) used by U.S. and allied military forces. SINCGARS can transmit and receive secure data and facsimile transmissions through simple connections with various data terminal equipment.
What is the difference between HaveQuick and SINCGARS?
Not Encryption – HAVE QUICK is not encryption but can be used with encryption systems. SINCGARS – HAVE QUICK, used to protect military UHF radio traffic, is not compatible with Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS), VHF-FM radios used by ground forces. Some newer radios can support both systems.
What does MRC 145 stand for?
AN/MRC-145: vehicular- mounted. SINCGARS with power amplifier (two radios per vehicle). This system is intended to be used for retransmission; however, many commanders use it for command and control.
What software has quick?
HAVE QUICK (also HAVEQUICK, short HQ) is an ECM resistant / frequency-hopping system used to protect military aeronautical mobile (OR) radio traffic. Once the target frequencies were identified, radio frequency jamming could easily be employed to degrade or completely disable communications.
What frequencies have quick?
Frequency Band: UHF 225-399.975 MHz. Frequency Channels: 7000. Channel spacing: 25 KHz.
How old are ASIP radios?

What does SINCGARS stand for?
Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System
The Exelis Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) RT-1523 provides the U.S. Armed Forces with the quality, durability and reliability of the most widely fielded Combat Net Radio in the world.
What are the components of an oe254 antenna?
(OE-254/GRC specification). The antenna comes complete with 70 ft. RG-213 transmission line (antenna to diplexer) and two 5 ft. RG-213 transmission lines (diplexer to radio set). Additional components for full assembly and erection (mast or ground deployed) are included in the transit bag.
What frequency can the oe-254 be used for?
The OE-254 was designed for frequency hopping and conventional radios. You also do not need to be lowering and rasing the antenna to work anywhere in the 30 to 88 MHz band.
What is oe254 GRC antenna?
OE-254/GRC. The OE-254/GRC Antenna Group is designed for broadband, omni-directional ground-based communications. It is intended for use with radio sets AN/VRC-12, AN/VRC-43 through AN/ VRC-49, AN/VRC-53, AN/VRC-64, AN/GRC-125 and AN/GRC-160 but will also function with the AN/PRC-25 and AN/PRC-77 radio sets.
How does the oe-254 compare to a radio shack radio?
The Radio shack is working in it’s frequency range, but the OE-254 is working above it’s range. The OE-254 performs much worse that the Radio Shack in the FM band. That indicates that the balun in the OE-254 is probably optimized for 30 to 90 MHz.
