3-9. BACKUP VOW (AN/ARC-164).
A radio set identical in type and performance to the
UHF command set (fig. 3-3) is installed on the pedestal
extension (fig. 2-10) to serve as backup VOW (Voice
Order Wire). This set provides the pilot and copilot with
secure
2-way
voice
communications.
Complete
provisions only are provided for a KY-58 voice security
device. The backup VOW set is protected by a 7 1/2
ampere BU VOW circuit breaker on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-26). The backup VOW and
Transponder share an antenna which is mounted on the
aircraft belly (fig. 2-1).
3-10. VHF-AM COMMUNICATIONS (VHF-20B).
a. Description. VHF-AM communications provide
transmission and reception of amplitude modulated
signals in the very high frequency range of 116.000 to
151.975 MHz for a range of approximately 50 miles,
varying with altitude. A dual head control panel (COMM
1, fig. 3-4) is mounted on the pedestal (fig. 2-10)
accessible to both the pilot and copilot. The panel
provides two sets of control indicators, frequency
indicators, frequency select knobs, a single volume
control, and a single selector switch for quick frequency
changing. Transmission audio is routed by pilot and
copilot #1 transmitter select switches. Received audio is
routed by pilot and copilot # receiver audio switches to
the respective headsets. The VHF radio is protected by
one 10-ampere VHF circuit breaker on the overhead
control circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). The associated
antenna is shown in figure 2-1.
