2.4 Frequency Setting
Frequency setting is always done by the two steps of
1. Entering a new standby frequency to the desired value, and then
2. Interchanging the new standby frequency and the previous active
frequency by using the swap button . .
Entering a new standby frequency can be done by
a) Manual input,
b) Recall of previously stored frequencies from the user memory
(memory locations 1-20), or
c) Recall from the list of the last 10 used frequencies.
2.4.1 Automatic Selection 8.33 / 25 kHz Channel Bandwidth
Whether a frequency is used with channel width 8.33 kHz or 25 kHz, is
automatically determined by the value of the frequency entered, and
requires no additional user activity.
The numbering scheme that is used for distinction of the two channel
widths is internationally standardized by the ICAO, and consistently used
in official documents (like e.g. VFR navigation charts) as well as in the
voice phraseology used by ATC radio communication.
Channels used with 25 kHz width are entered in multiples of 25kHz:
123.500, 123.525, 123.550, 123.575, 123.600 etc. These are compatible
with the old 25 kHz-only radios. To use the same frequencies with
8.33 kHz width, the frequency values entered are increased by 5kHz:
123.505, 123.530, 123.555, 123.580, 123.605 etc.
For more detailed information please refer to chapter 5.1 – but as said
above, for correct channel width selection this knowledge is not required.

2.4.2 Manual Frequency Input
The standby frequency is input by
Selecting with the ► button which part of the frequency to change,
and
Changing the selected part with the FREQ rotary knob.
The swap button interchanges the newly set standby frequency and
the former active frequency.
When having the channel selection configured for 8.33 kHz steps (see
3.1), the frequency is input in three steps:
SBY 118.910
SBY 118.910
SBY 118.910
In order to speed up the entering of new frequencies, it is
possible to configure the radio to allow entering of those
frequencies only that are used with 25 kHz channel width.
Please refer to chapter 3.1 for information on this
configuration.
However, when choosing this option, please keep in mind to
re-enable 8.33 kHz channel selection before flying into areas
where 8.33 kHz channels are used.

2.4.3 Recall a Frequency from the User Memory
To access the user memory frequency list, press MEM once, and select
one of the 20 memory entries with the VOL/SEL turn knob.
The selected memory entry is shown instead of the standby frequency.
In the lower row of the display, the number of the memory entry selected
is indicated by [MEM xx] (with xx = 1 to 20); if a name has been
provided by the user for this memory entry, it is displayed next to the
memory entry number.

2.5 Basic Settings
To choose between the following settings, use the SET button:
1. VOL Volume (chosen by default)
2. SQL Squelch (noise suppression)
3. VOX Voice Activated Intercom
(speech level required to activate the intercom)
4. INT Volume Intercom
5. STL Volume Sidetone left
6. STR Volume Sidetone right
7. EXT Volume of external audio signals
8. BRT Display brightness
9. CON Display contrast (only for devices with LCD)
… back to Volume
The return to the default display (VOL) is carried out by a short press on
the Dualwatch button DW or happens automatically after 10 seconds of
inactivity.
The chosen setting can be adjusted by the VOL/SEL rotary knob.
2.5.1 VOL – Volume
The radio returns automatically to the volume setting, when a value has
been set with the VOL/SEL turn knob.
Turning the VOL/SEL knob adjusts the volume of received radio signals.
The higher the value, the louder the reception of radio signals.
ACT 123.450
SBY 118.275
VOL 2
Range: 1 – 20
The VOL setting controls the volume of received radio
signals only, not the volume of the intercom or the external
audio input – these are set separately with INT and EXT.

2.5.2 SQL – Squelch (noise barrier)
By shortly pressing the SET key once, with the help of the rotary knob
the squelch level can be adjusted. (Note: This is not related in any way to
the intercom functionality.)
This is a threshold that has to be exceeded by radio signal levels from
other transmitters, in order to activate the reception circuitry. The higher
the number, the stronger the radio signals have to be in order to be
received.
ACT 123.450
SBY 118.275
SQL 2
Range: 0 - 9
The setting for the squelch depends on different factors. For motor
aircrafts an initial higher setting is typically appropriate, gliders may use a
lower value. A lower number means higher input sensitivity.
This allows reception of weaker signals (radio stations at higher
distance), but can also result in pickup of own-aircraft radio interference
sources (engine, strobe lights).
2.5.3 VOX –Voice Activated Intercom
By shortly pressing the SET key twice, with the help of the rotary knob,
the threshold volume VOX for intercom voice detection can be adjusted.
(Note: This is not related in any way to radio reception or squelch.)
VOX defines the crew’s speech volume that is required to activate the
intercom functionality. The higher the value, the louder you need to
speak in order to activate the intercom.
Exception: VOX=OFF corresponds to “always on”
The default squelch setting is 05. At higher values weak
signals could be suppressed.

VOX 3
Range: Off, 1 - 9
In case of very noisy backgrounds or use of uncompensated
microphones, the automatic VOX functionality may not work satisfyingly.
In these cases, it is possible to deactivate the VOX automatism with
VOX: 0, and to use an external intercom-switch.
2.5.4 INT – Volume Intercom
By pressing three times the SET button, the volume of the intercom can
be adjusted with the VOL/SEL turn knob.
The intercom functionality is the onboard crew-internal communication
for multi-seater aircraft. A change in the intercom volume level also
changes the volume of the sidetone. The sidetone is an audible feedback
of the own voice to the headset, i.e. you hear yourself speak. This
feature supports a natural speech behavior.
The intercom can be activated in two ways:
Automatically, i.e. whenever someone speaks into a microphone
(i.e. voice activated intercom = VOX, see chapter 0).
Manually, i.e. by use of an external intercom switch.
ACT 123.450

Range: 0 – 20
2.5.5 STL – Volume Sidetone Left
The sidetone is a self-hearing or back-hearing function during
transmission. The audio signal picked up by the microphone is fed
directly to the headset, which is normally perceived as pleasant. In this
menu point the volume of the sidetone for the left seat can be adjusted.

This also means that the squelch setting must not be zero.
2.9 DUAL WATCH Operation
The ATR833A-II comprises one receiver; therefore “dual watch”
(simultaneously monitoring two frequencies) is implemented by
alternating automatically between the active and the standby frequency.
With dual watch mode active, basically the standby frequency is tuned in,
shortly interrupted in regular intervals by tuning in the active frequency
for a fraction of a second.

Every then detected radio signal on the active frequency has priority, and
pauses the dual watch monitoring of the standby frequency, as long as
the reception/transmission continues on the active frequency.
Transmissions are always done one the active frequency.
The dual watch mode is activated by pressing DW, and indicated by a
changing the “SBY” label for the standby frequency to “DW”.

The dual watch mode is deactivated by pressing DW again, and by any
operations changing either of the frequencies.
In order to have an audible distinction between receptions on the active
and the standby frequency, it is possible to hear the receptions from the
standby frequency with a lower volume. Please refer to chapter 0. for
information about the feature “dual watch volume reduction”.
Quick approach:
Select or enter a standby frequency which shall be additionally
monitored.
Set SQL with the SET button and the rotary knob to a value of at
least 01.
Activate dual watch with DW (DW is shown)
SQL has to be set to 01 at least, as without adequate
squelch functionality the radio is not able to detect if there is
a reception on the active frequency.

3.4 DUOWATCH – Dual-Watch Volume Reduction
By shortly pressing the SET button four times, with help from the
VOL/SEL rotary knob the lowering of the volume level (“mute”) for
receptions on the standby frequency (when having dual watch active)
can be controlled. This allows acoustic distinction between both
frequencies.

Wertebereich - 9 - 0
Minus 9 is the strongest reduction, i.e. the dual watch reception is much
quieter.
0 means no reduction, i.e. the dual watch reception is as loud as the
reception on the active frequency.
3.5 EXTAUDIO – Behavior of External Audio Input
The external audio input can be used to feed a monaural audio signal to
the amplifier for the headsets/speaker.
An external audio signal can be used for different purposes. E.g. it is
possible to check the audio signal of a VOR receiver, to attach a traffic
sensor with acoustic output, or to use the external audio input for
(monaural) music input.
As these signals have different priorities in comparison to radio
receptions, the priority of the external audio input can be configured.
With the VOL/SEL rotary knob the following options can be selected:
When deactivating one PTT button and microphone for
transmissions, e.g. in order to keep passengers from
interfering with ATC communication, don’t forget to reactivate
the copilot’s PTT after end of the flight.

3.6 MIC TYPE – Selection Microphone Type
The next option in the configuration menu is the setting of the
microphone type.
Selecting the microphone type switches the individual microphone
inputs. With the setting "dynamic" the dynamic inputs MIC L dyn and MIC
R dyn become active and the input for standard microphones is switched
off. With the setting "standard" the inputs for standard microphones MIC
L std. and MIC R std become active and the dynamic microphone inputs
are deactivated. This avoids noise on unused inputs.
With setting "auto", a standard microphone works on the standard input
or a dynamic microphone on the dynamic input.
If the dynamic microphone inputs are occupied, these are automatically
activated and the standard inputs are switched off. If the dynamic
microphones are deactivated via a switch, the standard microphone
inputs are automatically activated.

4.5 Mounting
In cooperation with a maintenance shop, location and kind of the
installation are specified. The maintenance shop can supply all
cables. Suitable sets of cables are available from f.u.n.k.e.
AVIONICS GmbH.
Select a position away from heat sources. Care for adequate
convection cooling.
Leave sufficient space for the installation of cables and connectors.
Avoid sharp bends and wiring close to control cables.
Leave sufficient lead length for inspection or repair of the wiring of
the connector.
Bend the harness at the rear connectors to inhibit water droplets
(formed due to condensation) from collecting in the connector.
For mounting details/drawing refer to chapter 4.11.2
4.6 Equipment Connections
One 25 pin D-SUB miniature connector includes all electrical
connections, except for the antenna.
4.6.1 Microphone Connection
The standard microphone inputs provide phantom power of 9V. The

4.6.2 Headset Connection
Two headphones of the same type can be connected in parallel for each
input. The total impedance in this case must not be less than 100Ω.
4.6.3 Audio-Input
The external audio input can be used for the input of warn tones or music
etc. In order to avoid disturbances while this input is not used, the
respective wire needs to be short-circuited.
With cable sets available from f.u.n.k.e. Avionics the external audio-input
is already short-circuited by a blind plug. This blind plug can be easily
removed in order to use the external audio input.
If the external input is not used, it needs to be short-circuited
with GND, in order to avoid the pickup of electrical noise.

If the STX byte (0x02) appears in the data byte of a message, this byte is
doubled to distinguish it from STX. The checksum then contains both
0x02 values.
The standby frequency is set with the ID 0x12 and contains two data

4.7.3.3 Connector EXT-NF for Monaural Audio Input
This connector is used for the input of monaural audio signals. He can be
used e.g. for acoustic traffic warnings, for radio navigation receiver’s
acoustic identifiers, or for input of music into the headsets.
The priority of radio reception in relation to this input can be configured
as described in chapter 0.
4.8 Antenna
4.8.1 Antenna Selection
A VHF-COM-Antenna with an impedance of 50 Ohm is required.
Choose an antenna type approved for the aircraft and the mounting
location.
The antenna should be located far away from ELT-antennas and
other VHF antennas.
Specified features depend on proper installation of the antenna.

4.8.2 Installation Recommendation
Take note of the antenna manufacturer’s instructions.
The metallic contact between airplane surface and antenna-GND
must be very good. On non-metallic airplanes a metal foil (min. 80 cm
x 80 cm) shall be used as electrical counterweight on the inside of the
belly.
To avoid a mutual interference of the radios, the antenna isolation
between a voice transmission and a navigation antenna as well as
between double COM antennas should be as large as possible. A
distance of 2 meters usually is sufficient.
Assemble the antenna in vertical position so on or under the belly that
it is as far distant as possible from all protruding parts (propeller,
chassis, vertical stabilizer)
For glider installation the internal antenna installed by the
manufacturer should be used.
The SWR shall not exceed 3:1.
4.9 Microphone / Intercom settings
The settings of MIC and VOX values are essential for Intercom. The
respective
configuration
options
are
described
in
chapter
0
(VOX=threshold level) and chapter 3.6 (MIC input sensitivity).
If the VOX automatism is deactivated with VOX=OFF intercom is
activated using the intercom switch (not PTT), which connects PIN 7
(intercom) of the equipment connector to GND.
For operation with VOX activated PIN 7 has to be connected to GND
permanently.
Transmission merely operates when PTT is pressed.
The suppression of background noise is only possible using differential
microphones, as they are usual with modern headsets. Normal electret
microphones are not suitable.
The HF antenna wire must not be included in any other cable
sets, for example power supply or microphone. It must also
not be placed together with other antenna wires, for example
NAV or Transponder.

Doc.-No. 01.143A.010.71e / Revision 1.00
4.10 Post-Installation Check
When installation is completed all steering and control functions of the
aircraft are to be examined, in order to exclude disturbances by the
wiring.
The SWR shall not exceed 3:1.
Furthermore a test flight is recommended, in order to guarantee the
proper in-flight operation of the radio:
In a flight altitude of at least 2000 ft contact a ground station in a
distance of at least 50 km (30 nautical miles).
Pay attention to unusual electrical interference.
If possible, perform the radio test on frequencies within the upper
and lower VHF communication frequency range
A certified maintenance shop must verify proper operation of
the VHF Transceiver System.
