32-bit serial control word
Used with FM homing only and switches R/T receiver between two antennas to provide relative bearing to transmitting source
Signal data comparator
Antennas of VHF
Upper lower AM FM voice Two FM homing wingtips 1 ADF singleband antenna dual band antenna
This module of the VHF contains antenna switching AM MODULATION transmitting receiving switching sides Stonegate voltage regulation on and off control and filtering
Transmitter A1
This module provides the R/T with all required voltage from signal 24 VDC input provided from the A1 transmitter
Power supply A2
This module has two functions and is used in audio switching filtering amplification and tone generation
Audio card A3
This module has two sub parts in it
Receiver A4
This receiver is where heterodyne takes place and wear the output is the intermediate frequency
RF receiver A4A2
This receiver is where detection takes place and contains squelch circuits
IF receiver A4A1
This module provides injection frequencies for the receiver transmitter and his where FM modulation takes place
Synthesizer A5
This module receives the 32 bit serial data word from the RSC and is only used in remote
Serial receiver A8
