1.4 System Description
• VHF Communication Transceiver for installation in aircraft
• operating frequency range from 118.000 to 136.975 MHz
• 25 kHz channel spacing (760 channels)
• panel mounting in a 57 mm cut-out
• memory capacity for 9 user defined frequency entries
To avoid unintentional permanent transmit operation, the
transmitter automatically stops transmission after two
minutes of uninterrupted operation.
