3-12. VHF AM-FM COMMAND SET (AN/ARC-186).
a.
Description. The VHF AM-FM Command Set
provides
for
normal
and
secure
2-way
AM
voice
communication in the very high frequency range of 116.000
to 151.975 MHz and FM homing in the 30.000 to 87.975
MHz band. Twenty channels may be preset. Audio signals
are applied through the No.2 position of the transmitter-
interphone selector switches and through the No.2 receiver
audio switches on the pilot's and copilot's audio control
panels (fig. 3-1). Complete provisions only are installed for a
TSEC/KY-58 voice security device. Circuits are protected by
a 10-ampere VHF AM-FM circuit breaker on the overhead
circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-27). Figure 3-5 illustrates the
VHF AM-FM control panel. The associated antenna is
shown in figure 2-1.
b.
Controls/Indicators and Functions.
(1)
10 MHz selector. Selects receiver-transmitter
frequency in increments of 10 MHz from 30 to 150 MHz.
Clockwise rotation increases frequency.
(2) 10 MHz indicator. Indicates manually selected
receiver-transmitter frequency in 10 MHz increments from 30
to 150 MHz.
(3) 1.0 MHz selector. Selects receiver-transmitter
frequency in 1.0 MHz increments. Clockwise rotation
increases frequency.
(4) 1.0 MHz indicator. Indicates manually selected
receiver-transmitter frequency in 1.0 MHz increments.
(5) 0.1 MHz selector. Selects receiver-transmitter
frequency in 0.1 MHz increments. Clockwise rotation
increases frequency.
