MT1099A-MS
The MAR-16 is a 4.8m (16 ft.) mobile antenna system that consists of a heavy
duty fiberglass military whip antenna with a flexible spring base and
mounting bracket. The MAR-16 can be tied down horizontally to support
NVIS communications. This antenna requires an antenna tuner.
The MAR-12 is identical to the MAR-16 except that it is 3.6m (12 ft.) in
length.
The MAR-16T is identical to the MAR-16 except that it includes a tilt whip
adapter on a flexible spring base. The adapter enables the antenna to be locked
in four different positions.
The RA-MAS is a 4.8m (16 ft.) mobile antenna system that consists of a
heavy duty fiberglass military whip antenna with a rigid mobile base and a
mobile mounting bracket. This antenna requires an antenna tuner.
The AAW is a whip adapter and feed wire (C992102) for connecting the
RA-MAS, MAR-12 and MAR-16 antennas directly to the PRC1099/A front
panel antenna mount. This is used in transceiver-only 20W mobile systems.
The AAW is not required when the system includes an external antenna tuner.

System Configurations
The MT-1099A can be installed in multiple configurations:
•
12 or 24 Vdc 20W (MT-1099A-12/24)
•
12 or 24 Vdc 100W (MT-1099A-12/24)
•
24 Vdc 400W (MT-1099A-24)
Figures on the following pages show these configurations, components and
associated cabling. For each configuration, the PRC1099/A includes the
battery case installed without the BB-LA6 battery in the battery case.
CAUTION: The following installations require the operator to
remove the protective cap from the PRC1099/A’s accessory con-
nector. Make sure the protective cap is attached to the PRC1099/A
front panel by a cord so it does not get lost. The protective cap
contains an internal jumper that completes the 12V path to the
radio when using battery power.
If the PRC1099/A needs to be converted from a mobile or fixed
base to a manpack configuration with the BB-LA6 battery
installed, the radio must have the protective cap in place to oper-
ate.
When the PRC1099/A is installed in the MT-1099A, the MT-1099A
provides the +12 Vdc supply to the PRC1099/A through the
C991949 cable.
