TN213 VR-3A130-SYF VHF AM Enhanced Receiver
The VR-3A130 Receiver is a multichannel synthesized low power AM receiver capable of
RECEIVER
FREQUENCY (MHz)
operating for regular AM voice radios in 8.333 and 25 KHz channel spacings. The VR-3A130-S
SQ . DI SA B L E
receiver operates in the 118 to 137 MHz aviation band. A modular design allows each of the

receiver's two internal modules, the Main Receiver Board, and OSR-3A130 Synthesizer, to be
individually assembled and tested. This facilitates construction, tuning and maintenance as
RF N I
well as troubleshooting procedures. The synthesizer module can be programmed to have up

to 16 channels in the 118 to 137 MHz frequency band. Channel 16 can be programmed from

Receiver Operating Frequency

The receiver is initially aligned at the factory for the center of the 118 to 137 MHz frequency range. No re-alignment
of the receiver is required to change frequencies. The receiver operating frequency can be set as follows:
Channel 1 is programmed by the four BCD switches located on the Receiver Mainboard.
Channels 2 through 15 are programmed in the synthesizers' internal memory (done at the factory, or by a synthesizer
channel programmer).
Channel 16 is programmed by the front panel frequency select handle (exclusive to the AM product).
