Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy Enlisted Classification: a skill designation sailors hold in addition to their rating.

Overview

LHD Class Radio Communications System maintenance technicians perform planned and corrective organizational level maintenance on designated radio and exterior communications systems and associated remote equipment. They run diagnostic tests, isolate faults to the lowest replaceable unit, verify satisfactory operation, and forward faulty modules to the depot for repair.

Core Skills

  • Fault isolation to lowest replaceable units
  • Remote-controlled communications equipment maintenance
  • System diagnostics and operational verification

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Radio, Cellular, and Tower Equipment Installers and Repairers

Planned and corrective maintenance of VLF-HF radio systems, including fault isolation and operational testing, transfers directly to radio equipment repair.

How to prepare: Complete hands-on practice in transmission-component sweep testing to bridge shipboard radio diagnostics to civilian radio-site maintenance.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test operation of tower transmission components, using sweep testing tools or software.
  • Run appropriate power, ground, or coaxial cables.
  • Read work orders, blueprints, plans, datasheets or site drawings to determine work to be done.

Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers

Isolating faulty communications modules and testing systems for satisfactory operation closely matches telecommunications equipment troubleshooting and post-repair verification.

How to prepare: Take a practical telecommunications repair course that uses circuit diagrams and test meters to diagnose telephone or data communications equipment.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test circuits and components of malfunctioning telecommunications equipment to isolate sources of malfunctions, using test meters, circuit diagrams, polarity probes, and other hand tools.
  • Test repaired, newly installed, or updated equipment to ensure that it functions properly and conforms to specifications, using test equipment and observation.
