Codan 2110 HF manpack transceiver
The 2110 is a versatile, fully self-contained HF manpack radio. Rapidly deployable, it is purpose-designed for long-range communications on the move and in remote, hard-to-reach areas.
The kit is light, robust, simple to operate and easy to carry. It is ideal for any terrain and any weather.
CODAN professional HF transceivers are renowned for their reliability, and the 2110 is no exception.
The transceiver is built for harsh field conditions and meets all environmental standards, including MIL-STD-810F. The transceiver and battery are fully waterproof and can be immersed to a depth of one metre.
Using new technology, the 2110 HF transceiver draws very little current: only 120 mA from the battery in receive, so a single battery lasts for several days. Users don’t need to carry a spare battery, which significantly reduces the load. The battery management system monitors and displays battery capacity and condition, and protects the battery from overcharging.
Codan’s second-generation Digital Voice technology is a step change in HF voice communications. Full digital mode combined with an optimised vocoder delivers voice quality comparable to a mobile phone call. For fully secure, high-quality communications, the AES-256 encryption option can be added.
The 2110 has the same user-friendly interface as CODAN NGT series transceivers, minimising training and familiarisation.
The 2110 HF transceiver is fully compatible with NGT transceivers and with other commercial and military radios.
The transceiver is also fitted with a fast automatic antenna tuner that selects the tuning mode and antenna type and starts tuning automatically. With a large, easy-to-read display, self-test capability and advanced calling features, the 2110 is easy for anyone to operate and maintain.
The 2110 HF transceiver carries a 3-year warranty.

International standards and advanced ALE option
The radio fully complies with many international standards, including CE and FCC, as well as the MIL-STD-810 military environmental standard, FED-STD-1045 ALE and MIL-STD-188-141B ALE. In addition, Codan’s advanced ALE technology (CALM) outperforms standard ALE systems thanks to very fast scanning and 24-hour link quality analysis, which automatically selects the best channel from the moment the radio is switched on and reduces sounding transmissions.
Protecting your communications and your investment
With the voice scrambler option, the 2110 uses SECURE voice encryption to ensure that sensitive information is transmitted in strict confidence.
