The AN/PRC-148 Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio (MBITR), which covers the HF through VHF spectrum, is the first widely defined military software-defined radio. It preceded the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), although the AN/PRC-148 JEM version is JTRS compatible.
Physically, the basic version is handheld, but can be plugged into vehicle or base station mounts that give greater power.
