PRC-116

[OPCOM]

Does anyone know if the PRC-116 will talk with SINCGARS? Of course it will in plain mode. Just like the PRC-25/77, RT524/246, and Racal TRA-967.

The difference is that the 116 has encryption and hopping. This is the point of my question.

I know it will talk to SINCGARS encrypted on a channel, but not sure if the hopping is compatible.

I believe the 116 does about 120 hops per second, but I do not know if it is compatible with SINCGARS, which is I think about 100Hz.

Can anyone comment on this?

Whats a PRC-116??? I've heard of a PRC-117F (and now G) models....

It is also called a Racal BCC 66H and a Jaguar V. There are three, never issued, available. I am trying to decide. I bet they don't have 50 hours on them.
