This is a common comlink designed and produced by the
Bothawui Communications Conglomerate. It is the personal comlink
varient of their larger comlink design, the OmniNode Communications
Link.
Attached to goggles or a helmet it could be set to beep or vibrate when
incoming messages were being received. The transmission wavelength was
narrowband to restrict detection by others.
Range: 50km, and low orbit in clear weather.
Base Cost: 75.
Weight: 0.1kg.
Availability: Readily available throughout the known galaxy. All eras.
Modifications include:-
Burst-Transmission can be a modification to personal comlinks for
double the base cost, making the transmission very difficult to
intercept or detect.
Encryption can be a modification
giving the device hardwired encryption routines for ten times the base
cost.
This comlink can broadcast over countless different frequencies. There are
also 'Standard Clear Frequencies' (or SCF's) which are used for any
public communications, such as when a ship wishes to hail a spaceport
or other ship, or when a local government needs to make a broadcast
that should be picked up by all comlinks within a certain area. Most
comlinks can be set to monitor one specific frequency and SCF's
simultaneously.
