1 GENERAL This manual contains information about the physical, mechanical and electrical characteristics, as well as information about installation and operation of the VHF voice radio FSG80. 1.1 Symbols Advices whose non-observance can cause radiation damage to the human body or ignition of combustible materials.
• Wide range power supply 11 – 30 VDC • Configurable energy saving mode The FSG80 is only certified as ground radio. It has no certification for on-board usage in an aeroplane. For this the almost identical ATR833-II is available.

2.4.6 ATR Frequency Tool The ATR Frequency Tool from Version 1.5 supports the FSG80. With the tool the frequency memory of the FSG80 can be managed, i.e. frequencies can be added, edited and deleted. The frequency list can be stored as a file.
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 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. STL Volume Sidetone left 4. STR Volume Sidetone right 5.
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 123.450 118.275 SQL 2 Range: 0 - 9 The setting for the squelch depends on different factors, like environmental noise. 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 radio interference sources (power supplies, engine, strobe lights).
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 118.275 ST2 4 Range: 0 – 20 2.5.5 EXT – Volume of the external Audio Input By shortly pressing the SET key four times, the volume of external audio signals (warning tones, music, etc. …) can be controlled with the rotary knob.
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation Range: 0 - 9 2.5.7 CON – Contrast By pressing the SET eight times the last configuration item is reached in the standard menu, where the contrast of the display can be adjusted with the VOL/SEL turn knob.
VOL 5 2.8 REPLAY Funktion The FSG80 automatically stores the last 9 seconds of an incoming radio call. Pressing the CURSOR key will play the last received radio message. The display will show » R E P L A Y » for the duration of the playback.
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 2.9 DUAL WATCH Operation “dual watch” FSG80 comprises receiver; therefore (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.
2.10.2 Runway lightning When the FSG80 detects three times an opening and closing of the squelch within five seconds, the signal RUNWAY LIGHTNING (pin 7 at the device connector) is set to high for one second. This can be used for the activation of a runway lightning.
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 3 CONFIGURATION A very long press of SET (5 seconds) accesses the configuration menu. The configuration menu is used for fundamental settings. To choose between the following settings, use the SET button: 1. SPACING Channel spacing 2.
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 3.1 SPACING – Channel Spacing With this setting, the FSG8 can be configured to constrain frequency selection to 25 kHz channels only. This can be used to speed up the manual frequency input in areas where no 8.33 kHz channel spacing is used (see also chapters 2.4.1 and 2.4.2).

FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 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.
FSG80 / P/N FSG80-(xxx)-(xxx) Operation and Installation 123.450 118.275 EXTAUDIO auto off not RXTX: The external audio input is automatically deactivated during radio receptions or transmit mode. This setting does not use the external audio activity sensing, and therefore can introduce noise when no signal source is connected.
