NATO Supply Class 5820 is a classification for Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Except Airborne. It falls under NATO Supply Group 58, which is dedicated to Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

This supply class includes a wide range of equipment used for radio and television communication purposes. It encompasses devices such as radios, transceivers, broadcasting equipment, antennas, amplifiers, receivers, and other related communication equipment.

The equipment in this class is specifically designed for non-airborne applications, meaning it is not intended for use in aircraft or airborne operations. It is primarily used for ground-based communication systems, including both civilian and military applications.

The purpose of this classification system is to provide a standardized method for categorizing and organizing military supplies and equipment. By using NATO Supply Classes and Groups, it becomes easier for member nations to identify, procure, and maintain the necessary equipment for their military operations.

Includes Telemetering Equipment.

Excludes Home Type Radio and Television Equipment.

Note-Excludes oscillator items which should be classified in FSC 5955 or 5963; fiber optic items which should be classified in Group 60; electronic modules as defined under Class 5963; and electrical cable, cord and wire assemblies, harnesses and sets, related to FSG 58 equipment (see FSC 5995). In Group 58, more than in any other group, it frequently happens that the same name is listed as an index entry in each of several classes. In addition, that name may also appear as an entry in groups other than 58. Each such entry refers to a distinctly different part or assembly, even though the different items have the same name. The listing of the same names in two or more classes indicates that, in one form, the part or assembly covered by the name is applicable to the equipment covered by one class, and in another form is applicable to the equipment covered by another class. For example, the item name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is applicable to two distinctly different assemblies, one of which has an application in cryptologic equipment, covered by Class 5810, and the other in radar equipment covered by Class 5840. Consequently the name CODER, AUDIO FREQUENCY is an entry under each of the two classes. When an item identification bears a name which is indexed under more than one class of Group 58, or in Group 58 and in some other group, the item will be classified in the same class as its next higher assembly in the manner described in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures Manual, DoD 4100.39-M. Also excluded from this group are data transmission and communications equipment such as terminals, sensors and other devices designed for use with a configuration of ADPE.
