BDATech's APEx AN/PRC-163 Mission Extender is the solution for operators that only need connectivity from an End User Device [EUD] to a L3Harris Technologies AN/PRC-163 radio.  The APEx AN/PRC-163 Mission Extender is designed to be paired with a BDATech Radio Power Wedge [MA-0122-00], allowing for the use of a larger capacity battery to extend the operating time of the radio, compared to using the standard hand held radio battery.  Before attaching to the radio, either the RED or BLACK USB interface can be selected by the user with a sealed switch.  The hand held battery attached to the Radio Power Wedge [MA-0122-00] can power the system allowing for the ability to hot swap the main battery.  To even further expand capability, an APEx peripheral cable leg is available giving the user the option to connect a second peripheral device.  The BDATech KDU application can also be run on the EUD to operate the radio [an adapter cable is required to run the BDATech KDU application when data is set to BLACK].
