Storage Function; Modification Of User Channels Database And Labels Database - Becker AR6201 Installation And Operation Manual

Toggling of frequency channel spacing Mode is only available for AR6201-
(0XX) variants. The AR6201-(1XX) variants cannot be toggled. The AR6201-
(1XX) variants are operating in 25 kHz Mode only.
In 25 kHz Mode 5 frequency digits are shown. Only operating frequencies
with a channel spacing of 25 kHz are selectable. If 8.33 kHz channels
are not in use this mode provides the advantage of faster tuning since
skipping all 8.33 kHz frequencies.
In the "8.33 and 25 kHz Mixed Mode" the displayed frequency consist of 6
digits. The transceiver tunes to all possible frequencies within the
aviation VHF frequency band. The channel spacing and operating frequency
is derived automatically from the selected and displayed frequency
(refer chapter 1.4).

Storage Function

The VHF transceiver provides three databases:
1. User Channels Database
2. Last Channels Database
3. Labels Database
The "User Channels Database" provides 99 channels identified as CH01 to
CH99 and to each channel, the user can assign any frequency within the
VHF-COM range from 118.000 MHz to 136.9916 MHz by simply pressing the
"STO" button. All 99 channels are editable, when selected, after the
"STO" button is pressed.
The "User Channels Database" can be edited manually or uploaded/edited
by using a PC-application connected to an interface port on connector J1
of the AR6201.
The transceiver automatically stores nine last used frequencies into the
"Last Channels Database", identified and easy to recall as LAST1 to
LAST9.
The "Labels Database" allows attaching a text label to each of the 99
stored VHF frequencies. To a particular VHF frequency, only one label is
assignable and the label length is limited to 10 characters. The "Labels
Database" can be edited or uploaded/edited by using a PC-application
connected to an interface port on connector J1 of the AR6201.
3.9.1

Modification of User Channels Database and Labels Database

The User Channels Database and Labels Database can be modified (new
entry added or existing entry edited) only, if CHANNEL STORE option is
selected in the MEMORY OPTIONS page in Installation Setup (see chapter
2.8.5).
Pushing on "STO" key activates Database modification in Standard Mode,
Direct Tune Mode, or Channel Mode.
During this procedure, the display looks similar to the Channel Mode
with the difference "STO" appear on the left side of the display. In the
display top line the Active Frequency appears and the bottom line shows
the already assigned or next vacant channel number. The channel number
can be selected by means of the "ROTARY ENCODER". The label "FREE"
appear in front of "CHXX" if the selected channel number is vacant, but
if the selected channel number contains an already stored frequency
"USED" appears.
