Action
Unlatch the battery box from the bottom of the RT-1319B to gain
access to the battery box. Place the batteries inside the two
compartments in the battery box with the two connectors
outboard. Gently place the RT-1319B back down on the battery
box to seat the connectors. When the batteries are seated, latch the
battery box back to the RT-1319B.
Place the connector end of the antenna over the ANT connector on
the RT-1319B.
Turn the antenna in a clockwise direction to thread it on the radio.
Once the antenna becomes snug, do not continue tightening. If
you tighten it too much, you'll need a wrench to take it off.
Note: Most communicators prefer a coat of saliva on the o-ring to
aid in fastening the handset. While it does make the
connection easy, it does not prevent moisture. A light coat
of silicone grease will make the connection both easy and
moisture resistant.
Turn the OFF/VOLUME switch on the RT-1319B clockwise to
turn the radio on. You should immediately hear rushing noise in
the handset. Continue to turn the OFF/VOLUME switch
clockwise to increase the volume. If you cannot hear any rushing
noise, look for SQL on the LCD. Press the 7/SQL key on the
keyboard if you see that squelch is enabled. The radio will
automatically return to the operating modes and frequency that
were in use the last time it was on. As you turned OFF/VOLUME
switch clockwise, you should have also seen the liquid crystal
display (LCD) glow green (called backlighting). You can turn
the DIM control left or right to adjust the intensity of backlighting.
Note: Backlighting will automatically go out 30 seconds after
power-up or when the keyboard is not used for 30 seconds.
To re-light, push the ENT key.

To prevent internal damage, make sure that the

output cable is terminated at the AS-3588 or at
another antenna.
Apply a light coal of silicone grease to the O-ring inside the H-250
handset cable. This procedure is a moisture preventative that also
makes connecting cable easier.
Connect the H-250 to the RT-1319B at the AUDIO connector.
Flip the AM-7176A power switch to the PWR position.
Turn on the RT-1319B and adjust volume in the handset.
Turn on the AM-7176A speaker, if desired, and adjust volume.
Adjust the backlighting for comfortable viewing or tactical
conditions.
Keep the BYPASS/PA switch in BYPASS until directed or if
communication is not possible without 30 watts of RF power.

Usage

You enter the code of 220.000 into

preset 20 to access this mode, the basic
mode for the RT-1319B. By
programming 220.000 in preset 20,
you are telling the radio that you wish
to operate in single channel or ECCM,
you desire access to your eight preset
frequencies, and you want the ability to
load WOD. Do not forget that this is
the basic mode for the RT-1319B.
You enter the code of 220.025 into
preset 20 to access this mode. This
tells the RT-1319B you wish to load
WOD entries for two or more day's
worth of ECCM operation. You are
also telling it that you do not desire
access to your eight preset frequencies.
Enter 220.050 into preset 20 to erase
every WOD entry the RT-1319B has
stored in memory. By placing
220.050 into preset 20, you are
commanding the RT-1319B to erase all
WOD entries. Use this code with
caution.
Enter 220.075 into preset 20 to
access this mode. You are telling the
RT-1319B you wish to load FMT
frequencies into memory. These
frequencies are what the RT-1319B
will use to hop on when you use the
FMT net. You will not have access to
the eight preset frequencies from this
mode.

or no TOD.
If a flashing 5 is shown rather than a solid A, you are
attempting to go active using a VHF frequency.

DESCRIPTION
A direct path for communication from
one point to another, for example,
between aircraft or from the ground to
an aircraft. You dont have to be able
to see the other radio to talk to it, but
the antennas on the radio do.
Used to prevent friendly fires or when
you are in immediate danger with no
other means of communication
available.
Activated by the operator and fix
tuned to 243.000 MHz. Monitors the
UHF IDF.
Transmits a constant 1 KHz tone at 90
percent modulation to transmit TOD.
RT-1319B output of 2 watts
Using passive security to deny the
enemy knowledge of friendly
activities
Various hopping patterns
Automatically selected when no
COMSEC device is in use.

DESCRIPTION
Enables the ECCM capability of the radio.
This code sets the frequency hopping and rate.
It is manually entered into the RT-1319Bs
memory using the front panel keyboard. A
tape of predetermined codes that will service
from 1 to 6 days.
The WOD segments look like valid UHF
frequencies but they are not. They are only six
bits of information to be processed by the RT1319B.
TOD places the radios on the net in
synchronization with each other. Use this
input to update the internal clock. The operator
using the keyboard, from another RT-1319B or
from an external timing device, can update
TOD.
Determines the hopset of frequencies and what
frequencies in that hopset are used. There are
1,600 legal net numbers that can be assigned.
Allows multiple nets with common WOD and
TOD to operate without interference.

DESCRIPTION
The basic mode for the RT-1319B. The
operator has presets 1 8 available for
frequency storage and can load one
WOD entry for ECCM operation.
Use this mode to clear all WOD entries
in memory.
Allows the radio to use the frequencies
loaded into the presets as the actual
hopset. The RT will hop on the
frequencies that are loaded.
Electromagnetic energy
Transferring electronic data through a
wire system external to the receiver
transmitter.
The name given to the radios used to
receive and process two simultaneous
transmissions without interference.

Operators Troubleshooting Checklist

Before calling for help, perform the following checks if you are having trouble with your radio:

Make sure you have set all switches properly.

Check all cable connections to make sure they are clean and tight.

Make sure the antenna is properly connected and positioned.

Make sure the radio has adequate power, especially in the AN/PRC-113 (V) 3
configuration.

Replace the battery when the decimal point in the display begins to blink.

Check all numbers and codes because they may need to be reprogrammed.

If you have performed these procedures and still have a problem, turn in your radio to your units
maintenance shop.

Using the Advanced Programming Chart

The Advanced Programming Chart will enable you to manipulate certain RT-1319B ECCM
capabilities. These include controlling the conferencing mode, training/operational net selection,
and specific net selection.
1. Training/Operational Net Selection. This selection is done by the second, third, and forth
digits of the WOD segment in preset #20. If these digits are all zeros, a training net will be
selected. Any non zero number in the second, third, or forth position will force an operational
net selection.

0632 Handbook

32

2. Net Selection. The ANN will determine which of the two training nets or which of the three
operational nets are selected.
a.
Training Net. If the ANN ends with 00, the T-Net will be selected. The FMT
net will be selected if the ANN ends with 25.
b.
Operational Net. If the ANN ends with 00, the A&B Net will be selected. The
NATO net will be selected if the ANN ends with 25 and the non-NATO net will be selected if
the ANN ends with 50. An ANN ending with 75 is illegal.
3.

Conferencing. Conferencing is controlled by the contents of preset register 19.

a.
Training Nets. Conferencing is automatically enabled while using the T-net or
the FMT net.
b.
Operational Nets. If the contents of the WOD segment in preset #19 end with
25 or 75, conferencing will be disabled. A WOD segment in preset #19 ending with 00 or
50 enables conferencing. Not having a WOD segment in preset #19 will automatically enable
conferencing.
