Becker AR6201 VHF-AM Transceiver An Integrated Voice Activated
(VOX) Intercom System
Becker AR6201 airborne aviation radio, P/N 0636.339-910
Becker Avionics introduces its new high performance, compact,
AR6201 VHF-AM Transceiver with 8.33 kHz channel spacing and
integrated voice activated (VOX) intercom system for up to four
passengers. The AR 6201 continues the legacy of its predecessor the
AR4201 VHF-AM transceiver, which has set the benchmark for
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
robustness.
The AR6201 operates on a frequency range of 118.000 MHz to 136.990
MHz with selectable channel spacing of 25kHz or 8.33 kHz. Standard
or dynamic microphones can be used. A voltage meter and OAT
(Outside Air Temperature) readout with optional temperature sensor
is built in.
By blending a VHF-AM Transceiver and voice activated (VOX) intercom
system into one single, attractive unit the operator will not need
to invest in a separate intercom system (up to four seats).
Further, the new dual monitor mode allows two channels to be
received to provide the ability to scan for radio traffic with the
built in intercom. The AR6201 display color and lighting will be
compatible to the BXP6401 in the colors ”green” and “white-blue”.
An automated built-in-test procedure increases flight safety and
reliability. The AR6201 is mountable in a 2 ¼ inch standard
instrument hole. The AR6201 will be pin-to-pin compatible with the
AR4201 in order to ensure easy upgrade and replacement.
About AR 6201 VHF Transceiver
The AR6201 VHF-AM transceiver is a quantum leap forward due to the
implementation of state-of-art DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
technology. It is mountable in the 2 ¼ inch standard instrument
panel recess and is equipped with a highly efficient
AM-transmitter, a very sensitive receiver and a full graphic
LC-display. Push button and display illumination can be dimmed. The
AR 6201 offers full 8.33 kHz spacing capabilities, already the new
international standard above FL195 and in many countries also below
FL195. Switching between the 8.33 and the 25 kHz mode is therefore
made effortlessly simple. Standard or dynamic microphones can be
used. A built-in-test facility increases flight safety. The dual
monitor mode that allows scanning of two different channels is an
extra feature. The AR6201 consumes a maximum of 1.2A during
transmit and 85mA during receive standby at 12VDC. The unit
operates with an input voltage of 9-36VDC. The transmitter power
output is better than 6 watts.
The new AR 6201 with its integrated intercom allows the connection
of up to four headsets. The Intercom can be activated in two ways.
1. Over a discrete switching input (active low) of the (external)
Intercom switch and/or 2. Over VOX, with an adjustable VOX
threshold.
The AR6201 is continuing the Becker Avionics airborne radio success
story far into the 21st century. Certification according ETSO-2C37e
