The 3032 Crosspatch is a compact HF crosspatch gateway that bridges HF and land mobile radio networks at under 50 mA, extending range through beyond line of sight HF links.
When VHF and UHF coverage stops at the horizon, HF can carry the link further. The 3032 Crosspatch patches land mobile radio traffic onto Codan HF networks, helping teams maintain operational awareness across wider areas. DTMF tones or simple Push-To-Talk sequences can initiate calls and control key HF radio functions, including channel selection, vocoder rate, and encryption state.
Interoperability is built into the design. The 3032 supports Codan Selcall, 2G and 3G ALE, analogue HF voice, and Codan Digital Voice in encrypted and non-encrypted modes. Software-configurable interfaces support Codan HF software-defined radios and selected third-party VHF/UHF radios, with configuration handled through Codan Crosspatch Programming Software.
Remote and mobile operations need equipment that can handle harsh conditions without adding load to the system. Drawing less than 50 mA at 13.8 V DC, the 3032 Crosspatch is suited to vehicle installations and low-power deployments. MIL-STD-810G qualification for drop, shock, and vibration, a compact form factor, and a snap-lock mounting bracket make it practical for demanding field environments.
Patches HF to VHF and UHF voice and audio, extending land mobile range over beyond line of sight HF links.
Compatible with Codan Digital Voice and analogue HF, in encrypted and non-encrypted modes across all vocoder rates.
Over the air DTMF tones from VHF or UHF radios initiate calls and control HF channel, vocoder, and encryption state.
Low power consumption under 50 mA at 13.8 V DC, with a compact form factor for vehicular installations.
Fully compatible with Codan Selcall, 2G, and 3G ALE for automated HF linking.
Qualified to MIL-STD-810G for drop, shock, and vibration across a -30 to +60 degrees C operational range.
Emergency call capability lets remote workers request assistance with a simple PTT or DTMF sequence.

3032 Crosspatch extends land mobile radio coverage by patching VHF and UHF traffic onto the beyond line of sight reach of Codan HF radios. Remote and vehicular operations gain DTMF and PTT control, Codan Digital Voice in encrypted and non-encrypted modes, 2G and 3G ALE compatibility, and an emergency call capability for safer work in isolated locations. Plus, a compact build qualified to MIL-STD-810G and drawing under 50 mA fits crowded vehicle installations without straining the supply. From mining convoys to military patrols, the 3032 Crosspatch bridges the bands where coverage would otherwise stop at the radio horizon.
