The "Manpack" configuration is designed to be carried by a single soldier. It is capable of being used as a standalone portable unit (dismounted) or plugged into a vehicle or aircraft platform (vehicular-mounted) to use higher-powered amplifiers. It is a versatile radio that provides dismounted soldiers with the same robust communication capabilities found in larger, vehicle-mounted systems.
The AN/PRC-158 is a versatile transceiver that covers a broad frequency spectrum and supports multiple mission types. 30 MHz to 2.5 GHz.
