NOTE
On power-up, the transceiver is put
into
the
self-test
mode
for
approximately 30 seconds. During
this period, the legend TUNING is
displayed adjacent to L1 on the
COMM control page and at the top
center
of
this
page
and
the
transceiver
will
not
respond
to
operator inputs.
(2)
COMM control page. The COMM control
page shows the status of the VHF-FM and has a
frequency list. Radio name, mode of operation, selected
channel and frequency (or hopset number/AJ NET
number), and plain/ cipher indications are presented.
Two arrows indicate which transceiver each pilot has
selected with the transmitter-intercom selector switch
(audio control panel, fig. 3-1).
NOT INST - The aircraft is configured for the
equipment but it is not installed.
FAIL - The equipment has failed.
Blank - No legend at the bezel switch indicates
that the aircraft is not configured for the equipment.
NOTE
The following definitions apply to the
legend
adjacent
to
the
bezel
switches:
If L1 line selection switch is depressed with the
scratch-pad empty:
The FM frequency list will be displayed in the
box in the center of the multifunction display (MFD).
The HOPSET/LOCKSET list will be displayed in
the box in the center of the MFD if the frequency
hopping mode is active.
The legend at R4 will change to FM FREQ.
The legend at R5 will change to 2-FM SETUP.
If the VHF-FM transceiver is in the single
channel
mode and valid data is scratchpadded, depressing LI will
cause the transceiver to be returned and the display at
LI to be updated to reflect the scratchpadded data. Valid
data is:
A channel (1 through 20, or C or E).
A frequency (30.000 to 87.975 with leading and
trailing zeroes and decimal points optional).
An
identifier
(1
through
6
alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alpha but excluding E, C,
C plus 1 through 6, and P).
Identifiers are valid only if they exist in the frequency list.
If the VHF-FM is in the frequency hopping mode
and valid data is scratchpadded, depressing L1 will
cause the transceiver to be returned and the display at
L1 to be
updated to reflect the scratchpadded data. Valid data is:
A HOPSET channel (0 through 6 or an M).
A HOPSET number (3 digit number).
An
identifier
(1
through
6
alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alpha but excluding E, C,
C plus 1 through 6).
HOPSET and identifier entries are valid only if
they exist in the hopset list.
NOTE
Hopset channel 0 is processed and
displayed as an M channel.
1 Displayed data at L1. The first line
of text at LI is 2-FM followed by an ICS select arrow if
the radio has been selected by the transmitter-intercom
selector switch (audio control panel, fig. 3-1). The text
CIPH and a fill number is displayed to the right of the
ICS select arrow if the cipher mode has been selected.
The second line of text at L1 can read:
Channel
number/frequency
followed
by
an
optional identifier.
E (for emergency)/l followed by 40.5, followed by
an optional identifier.
Net channel number/followed by a FH followed
by the net number in the frequency hopping mode.
M/ followed by a frequency if the radio is tuned
to a frequency list or if the cipher fill number/status is
changed after the radio is tuned.
The third line of text (LI) may contain one of the
following messages in the following priority:
FAIL - The radio has failed one of several tests.
EMER - The emergency tune function has been
selected using the KU EMER switch.
TUNING - The ARC-201 is tuning and L1 is
inoperative.
NO TSEC - The FH or FH/M mode is selected and a
TSEC variable has not been stored into permanent
memory.
