RF2350 mobile multiband transceiver with increased resistance against radio-electronic warfare is intended for installation in all tracked and wheeled vehicles and base stations. It is fully compatible with RF20, RF23 and RF2050 in simplex and semi-duplex frequency hopping channel. Depending on the selected frequency band, the transceiver communicates with older RF13 radio system transceivers and with other transceivers complying with STANAG 4204. The transceiver secures data communication in fixed frequency channels according to MIL-STD-188-220 standard (NET modem). Two types of modem can be used for data transmission in frequency hopping channels - P2P and NET. RF2350 transceiver includes a navigation receiver displaying navigation data on a display and transmitting the GPS data via frequency hopping radio channel using G-track service. The transceiver features one U-229/U audio frequency connector (complying with MIL-DTL-55116 standard) to connect standard headsets. Various acoustic devices such as SONETRONICS, CJ COMPONENT PRODUCTS, POWER TIME etc. can be connected to the connector.

The transceiver is manufactured in two versions: 2310.100.40 without the co-site filter and 2310.100.41 with the co-site filter.

The co-site filter allows simultaneous operation of multiple RF2350 transceivers or of one RF2350 transceiver with RF2050 transceiver in one vehicle in 30 MHz to 90 MHz operating band. There must be at least 1.5 m between the recommended types of vehicle antennas and spacing between receiving and transmitting frequencies of at least 10 %. The co-site filter must be used with all transceivers to guarantee compatible operation.
