The XCOM 760 VHF Transceiver is the first of several innovative avionics products
to be released by XCOM Avionics. Based on the very successful Microair and Becker
ranges, the XCOM 760 offers many advanced features previously only available in
the more expensive brands.
Designed from the ground up, the XCOM 760 offers superior performance under the
demanding and noisy conditions experienced in many amateur built aircraft. With
low power consumption, this radio is ideally suited to use in gliders, homebuilts and
ultralights.
A full 6 watt carrier output ensures that you will be heard above the general chatter
in busy airspace and the VOX intercom with muting music input will enhance your
enjoyment of the flight. With expanded receive range up to 163 MHz, the XCOM
760 provides NOAA Weather reception ensuring that you are always aware of
impending weather conditions (NOAA Weather only operates in the USA) and has
an optional MARS/CAP capability.
Additional safety enhancements such as dual watch allow the pilot to listen to the
standby frequency while still monitoring the primary frequency. The XCOM 760 also
has 99 memory channels, large volume and channel selector knobs and well spaced
buttons. This radio is extremely easy to operate even when wearing flight gloves
and you can even check the condition of your battery with the built in voltage
monitor. Even at voltages as low as 10 volts, the XCOM 760 is capable of delivering
2 watts of carrier with full modulation.
Software update capability and Internet downloads mean that you are always
provided with the latest features.
