Ground Clearance/3rd Back-up Radio For Business Aviation
The FAA has granted TSO certification to Becker Avionics for its
new compact 2.25-inch, AR6201 VHF-AM Transceiver, with 8.33 kHz
channel spacing and integrated voice activated (VOX) intercom
system. The intercom feature allows up to two passengers with a
standard or dynamic mic. The AR6201 continues the legacy of its
predecessor, the AR4201 VHF-AM transceiver, which set the industry
benchmark for its reliability and performance. With more than
18,000 units sold, the AR4201 has been the trustworthy companion
for thousands of pilots flying millions of flight-hours.
The new AR6201 is built using state-of-the-art DSP (Digital
Signal Processing) technology resulting in a highly efficient
transmitter and very sensitive receiver. The AR6201 represents a
quantum leap forward in technology, perform¬ance, technical
sophistication and ruggedness. The AR6201 operates with a frequency
range of 118 MHz to 137 MHz with selectable channel spacing of
25kHz or 8.33 kHz. Standard or dynamic microphones can be used with
its intercom feature. A voltage meter to measure battery voltage is
built-in.
By blending a VHF-AM Transceiver and voice activated (VOX)
intercom system into one single, attractive and compact unit the
operator will not need to invest in a separate intercom system (up
to two seats). Further, the new dual-monitor or dual-watch mode
allows the unit to scan a second channel/frequency to increase
situational awareness. The AR6201 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
lighting color will be compatible with the Becker BXP6401
Transponder in ”green” and “white-blue”
colors. An automated built-in-test procedure increases flight
safety and reliability. The AR6201 is mountable in a 2¼-inch
standard instrument recess. The AR6201 will be pin-to-pin
compatible with the AR4201 to ensure easy upgrade and
replacement.
Klaus Fruehwirth, VP of Sales and Marketing at Becker Avionics,
stated “The new AR6201 is the ideal Ground Clearance/3rd
Back-up Radio for Business Aviation. The AR6201 can be easily
installed as a stand alone COM radio and wired directly to the
battery bus of an aircraft as it offers an input voltage range from
11 VDC to 30 VDC (emergency down to 9 VDC).”
He continued, “With the ETSO and TSO'd AR6201 installed,
flight crews can communicate for ground clearance without turning
on the entire avionics system of an aircraft. In addition, the
radio provides additional safety as it further can be utilized as a
3rd Back-Up COM, which not only offers 25kHz, but also 8.22 kHz
channel spacing.” The new AR6201 is ETSO and TSO certified
and available now. The new AR6203 model, a 160mm variant of the
AR6201, will be available in 2012.
