MGL Avionics Launches V10 VHF Aviation Transceiver
MGL's just-released
non-TSO'd aviation VHF transceiver is the first commercial product
of its kind to utilize digital receiver and transmitter technology,
according to the company. All audio processing and much of the
receiver and transmitter circuitry is fully digital, resulting in
audio quality the company says is not available with traditional
technology.
the V10 VHF Airband transceiver is based on modern digital
signal processing technology with a built in multi-mode dual
circuit intercom system.
The V10 fits in a round 3 1/8" instrument hole, but has a
mounting depth of only 2.2" + connectors. The shallowest mounting
depth of any aviation radio. This is possible due to the use of all
digital components. It weighs only about half a pound, but offers a
full 6 Watts of transmit power. The digital interface allows users
to set frequency on the radio from an MGL Avionics EFIS or any
equipment capable of setting frequency on the SL40 radio.
The unit also features a built-in VOX /
VOGAD (voice-operated gain-adjusting device) Intercom, a high
quality intercom system. Intended to be used as a primary intercom,
there are several modes of operation for the, including VOX options
and MGL Avionics' proprietary VOGAD system. VOGAD works by
adjusting the gain of the microphone as your speak based on the
level of your voice. This has the effect of eliminating
background/engine noise between your words as you speak and can be
used with simple passive headsets to produce the results normally
obtained using expensive active noise cancelling headsets. It
doesn't 'break squelch' like a VOX intercom, but is voice
activated and constantly adjusts to your voice level.
