AR Worldwide Modular RF in Bothell, Wash., is offering a version of the company’s KMW1030 booster amplifier specifically for the U.S. military’s Single-Channel Ground-and Airborne Radio System, otherwise known as SINCGARS. The model KMW1032HP is a dual-purpose, high-power version of basic SINCGARS-only model, which was introduced as part of a complete line of KMW1030 booster amplifiers for military tactical radios.
