Becker Avionics Transceiver AR 6213, 10 W

The Becker Avionics AR6213, 10 W is a professional VHF/AM aviation transceiver with 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz channel spacing in the classic 160 mm / 6.25-inch avionics stack format. As part of the proven Becker Avionics 6200 Series, the AR6213 combines modern digital signal processing, high transmitter output, Dual Watch, integrated intercom and comprehensive audio functions with a high level of certification.

The AR6213 series features Design Assurance Level C (DAL C), making it particularly suitable for demanding and certified avionics installations.

Unlike the remote transceivers of the RT62xx series, the AR6213 is designed as a single-block transceiver with an integrated control panel. The radio and control unit are housed in a single device, so no separate Remote Control Unit is required for normal operation.

8.33 kHz and 25 kHz Channel Spacing

The AR6213 supports both modern 8.33 kHz and conventional 25 kHz channel spacing.

The frequency range extends from 118.000 to 136.990 MHz.

Up to 760 channels are available with 25 kHz spacing, while up to 2,280 channels can be used with 8.33 kHz spacing.

The radio therefore meets the requirements for European 8.33 kHz aviation communication.

Up to 10 W Transmitter Output

This model is the higher-power 10 W version of the AR6213.

RF transmitter output is:

at least 6 W with a 14 V aircraft electrical system

at least 10 W with a 28 V aircraft electrical system

The AR6213 therefore provides particularly high transmitter output in aircraft equipped with 24/28 V electrical systems.

When operated from a 12/14 V aircraft electrical system, transmitter output is at least 6 W.

Modern Digital Signal Processing

The Becker Avionics 6200 Series uses modern Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology.

The high level of digital integration provides efficient signal processing while maintaining compact dimensions and low weight.

The system is designed to provide reliable and intelligible radio communication under typical aviation operating conditions.

Dual Watch / SCAN Mode

The AR6213 features Becker's Dual Watch function, also referred to as SCAN Mode.

This allows a second frequency to be monitored in addition to the active frequency.

For example, the pilot can communicate on the active frequency while simultaneously monitoring the standby frequency for incoming transmissions.

This is particularly useful when preparing for a frequency change or monitoring another relevant radio channel.

Integrated Intercom

The AR6213 features an integrated VOX-controlled intercom and provides comprehensive options for integration into different cockpit, headset and audio configurations.

In many installations, this can eliminate the need for an additional standalone intercom system.

The intercom and audio functions can be configured to suit the respective aircraft and headset installation.

AUX Audio Input

The integrated AUX audio input allows additional audio signals to be connected to the system.

This can be used, for example, to reproduce audio warnings or signals from other avionics equipment through the connected headsets.

Powerful Loudspeaker Output

In addition to the headphone outputs, the AR6213 provides an output for an external cockpit loudspeaker.

Output power is at least 4 W into 4 ohms.

With a suitable installation, the radio can therefore directly drive an appropriate cockpit loudspeaker.

Frequency Management

The Becker 6200 Series automatically stores recently used channels.

This allows previously used frequencies to be recalled quickly without having to enter them again.

The radio also features an RF signal indication, providing information about the strength of the received signal.

Adjustable Squelch

The receiver squelch threshold can be individually adjusted.

This allows the radio to be adapted to different reception conditions and aircraft installations.

Safe-Lock Function

The Becker 6200 Series features a Safe-Lock function.

This function helps prevent accidental changes to selected settings, for example if the controls are touched unintentionally or during turbulent flight conditions.

Tandem Operation and Additional Control Unit

Although the AR6213 already features an integrated control panel, the Becker 6200 Series can be expanded with additional control options depending on the installation.

A compatible Becker RCU6211 Remote Control Unit can be used for suitable installations.

This enables additional control positions and can be particularly useful for tandem cockpits, training aircraft and specialized aircraft configurations.

Wide Supply Voltage Range

The AR6213 operates with a supply voltage of 10.25 to 33 V DC.

It can therefore be installed in both typical 12/14 V and 24/28 V aircraft electrical systems.

For limited emergency operation, an additional voltage range of 9.0 to 10.25 V DC is specified.

Robust Design

The Becker Avionics 6200 Series was developed for professional aviation applications.

The unit requires no forced-air cooling and no additional cooling fan, eliminating additional moving components and potential noise sources.

Its robust design is intended to provide high reliability and long service life.
