3C-5
and reception of Amplitude Modulated (AM) signals in
the ultra high frequency range of 225.000 to
399.975 MHz for a distance range of approximately 50
miles. Channel selection is spaced at 0.025 MHz.
Audio signals are applied through the pilot’s and
copilot’s UHF AUDIO switches to the respective
headsets. A separate receiver is incorporated to
provide monitoring capability for the UHF guard
frequency (243.0 MHz).
b. UHF Controls and Functions. Refer to
