 Preparing the AN/PRC-113 (V) 3 For Operation
Step Action
1 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.
2 Place the connector end of the antenna over the ANT connector on
the RT-1319B.
3 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.
4 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.

0632 Handbook 8
 Preparing the AN/VRC-83 (V) 2 For Operation
Step Action
1 Connect the input power cable to the mounting base.
2 Slide the AM-7176A/RT-1319B assembly into the mounting base.
Tighten the clamps to secure the assembly.
3 Connect the standby power supply cable between the AM-7176A
(J7) and the RT-1319B (Remote).
4 Connect the RF input coaxial cable between the AM-7176A (RF
IN) and the RT-1319B (ANT).
5 Connect the output RF cable to the AM-7176A at the ANT
connector.

CAUTION: To prevent internal damage, make sure that the

output cable is terminated at the AS-3588 or at
another antenna.
6 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.
7 Connect the H-250 to the RT-1319B at the AUDIO connector.
8 Flip the AM-7176A power switch to the PWR position.
9 Turn on the RT-1319B and adjust volume in the handset.
10 Turn on the AM-7176A speaker, if desired, and adjust volume.
11 Adjust the backlighting for comfortable viewing or tactical
conditions.
12 Keep the BYPASS/PA switch in BYPASS until directed or if
communication is not possible without 30 watts of RF power.

 Operating Codes
ECCM Mode Usage
Access
Code
220.000 Normal operation/ You enter the code of “220.000” into
SWOD load 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.
220.025 MWOD load 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.
220.050 WOD erase mode 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.
220.075 FMT load mode 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.

WOD Word of Day This code sets the frequency hopping and rate.
It is manually entered into the RT-1319B’s
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 RT-
1319B.
TOD Time of Day 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.
ANN Active Net Determines the hopset of frequencies and what
Number 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.

ACRONYM MEANING DESCRIPTION
SWOD Single Word of Day 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.
WOD Erase Word of Day Erase Use this mode to clear all WOD entries
in memory.
FMT Net Frequency Allows the radio to use the frequencies
Management Training loaded into the presets as the actual
Net hopset. The RT will hop on the
frequencies that are loaded.
RF Radio Frequency Electromagnetic energy
HWT Hard Wire Transfer Transferring electronic data through a
wire system external to the receiver
transmitter.
CONF Conferencing The name given to the radios used to
receive and process two simultaneous
transmissions without interference.

 Operator’s 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 unit’s
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.
