• The sidetone volume depends on to the intercom volume setting.
1.5.6 Squelch Operation
• The squelch (muting) circuit suppresses signals with strong signal noise (when enabled).
• There are two kinds of squelch methods implemented, carrier- and noise-squelch.
o The carrier-squelch depends on the signal strength and is adjustable in
configuration setup.
o The noise-squelch depends on the noise level and is adjustable in the user menu.
1.5.7 Memory Channels
• You can can store 99+9 frequencies.
o The user can give a defined text label to each stored frequency.
o The last recently used 9 (active) frequencies are stored automatically as "LAST"
channels.
1.5.8 Scan Mode
• The scan mode is a dual watch function.
o The device monitors frequencies on two different channels, active & preset
frequency at the same time.
o The signal of the active frequency is always audible it has priority at all times.
1.5.9 Illumination
• The illumination of LCD and keys is controlled from the front panel with the user menu or
externally with the dimming input lines.
• If external dimming is selected, the illumination curve (brightness to voltage relation) is
adjustable in configuration setup.
1.5.10 LOW BATT Indication
• The transceiver monitors the power supply voltage.
o If the power supply voltage is less than the adjusted threshold, the display shows
the message "LOW BATT".
o If the power supply voltage decreases further, an emergency operation mode
starts.
1.5.11 Emergency Operation
• If the power supply voltage is < 10.25 V, the device continues operation with decreased
performance.

2.6.5 Inputs / Outputs (GT6201)
Microphone Connection – Standard Microphones
STD1, STD2 and STD3
• The transceiver has three unbalanced inputs STD1, STD2 and STD3.
• Each input has an input impedance of 150 Ω and a nominal sensitivity of 110 mV.
• The sensitivity level is adjustable in the configuration setup independently for each of the
microphones.
• The power supply from pins P1-9, P1-18 and P1-19 for supply of the connected
microphone(s) is > 8 VDC (8.3 V nominal) open circuit with an output impedance of 120 Ω.
Note:
• For common aviation microphones the power supply is able to support two microphones in
parallel.
• It is recommended to combine only microphones of the same type / impedance.
• In installations where high interferences were detected, we recommend the use of
sensitivity levels between 27...1500 mV.
• We also recommend to install the jacks generally isolated from car frame in order to avoid
ground loops.
Microphone Connection - Dynamic Microphone
• Interfacing with dynamic microphones, the transceiver has balanced inputs with an
impedance of 140 Ω and a nominal sensitivity of 1.6 mV.
• This sensitivity level is adjustable in the configuration setup.
• Two dynamic microphones in parallel may be connected (identical technical
characteristics of the microphones are recommended).
Note:
• In installations where high interferences are detected we recommend the use of sensitivity
levels between 2...20 mV.
• We also recommend to install the jacks generally isolated from car frame in order to avoid
ground loops.

"Auxiliary" Audio Input
• The AF auxiliary input is used to connect an external audio source (NAV, music-player,
etc.) to the transceiver.
• The external audio is audible only when transceiver is in receive mode.
• The input sensitivity is adjustable in the configuration setup.
• The impedance of this input is 600 Ω.
"LINE_OUT" Audio Output
• The LINE OUT is used to connect e.g. an external voice recorder to the transceiver when
it is used in ground-based installations.

Error / Failure Indication
2.11 Post Installation Check
Once the device/system is installed completely do a test procedure to make sure the system
functionality. Make sure that the compliance with the authority required procedures is obeyed.
The description that follows gives guidance for such tests.
2.11.1 Mechanical Installation and Wiring Check
• Make sure that all cables are fixed securely and shields connected properly to signal
ground.
• Examine the movement of controls to make sure that there is no interference.
• Make sure that all screws are tight and the connectors on the rear side of the device are
secured.
2.11.2 Power Supply
• Examine the power supply lines and the correct polarity.
• Make sure that the power supply is within the specified limits.
2.11.3 Receiver / Transmitter Operation
• Power up the 620X and tune it to a local station for a communication test.
• Make sure that the receiver output supplies a clear and readable audio and ask the local
station for proper readability for the transmit signal of the 620X.
• Repeat this communication test with an airborne station within ≈ 20-40 NM (Nautical
Miles).
2.11.4 Antenna Check
• Examine the VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) over the complete frequency band
(e.g. by using a VHF Reflection-Coefficient Meter).
The VSWR ratio should be less than 2:1 and is not acceptable when exceeding 3:1.
2.12 Error / Failure Indication
It is possible to read out and reset error flag.
• For read out and reset see: "Configuration Setup Pages" "FAIL LIST" or contact Becker
