(2) Brief Description of System Units - VHF/AM Mobile Transceiver System 860605,
Opt.8.33 consists of the following items:
(a) Transceiver Model 90-6R/8.33, Part Number 861605-2 with Opt. 8.33, is a low power
VHF/AM transceiver which operates in simplex on six pre-programmable frequency
synthesized channels, with 25kHz or 8.33kHz channel spacing in the frequency range
117.975MHz to 138.000MHz. The transceiver operates from a 12 volts dc nominal
vehicle power supply (negative ground only). An optional internal dc to dc power
convertor, P/N 863118-1 is available to allow operation from 10.8-30.0 Vdc. A general
view of the transceiver is given in Figure 1.1. The transceiver is normally located under
the dashboard of a vehicle using a mounting bracket and mounting hardware.
(b) Mounting Bracket, Part Number 913053-1, is a U-shaped aluminum alloy bracket which,
together with items of hardware included in Mounting Hardware Kit P/N 869024-1, is
used to mount the transceiver under the dashboard of a vehicle. A view of the transceiver
with mounting bracket is given in Figure 1.2.
(c) Power Input Cable Assembly, Part Number 863701, is a three-metre length of two- core
cable terminated at one end by a two-pin, female contacts, connector, which mates with
the two-pin, male contacts, connector located at the left-rear of the transceiver. The
unterminated end of the cable is connected to the 12Vdc vehicle power supply negative-
ground during installation. A view of the cable assembly is given in Figure 1.3.
(d) Microphone Assembly, Part Number 961070-1, consists of a Microphone and a mounting
bracket, P/N RK6MB.
A general view of the microphone assembly is given in Figure 1.4.
The microphone is a rugged hand-held microphone housed in a high impact plastic case
which includes a rear case hang-up button for storage on the mounting bracket. The
dynamic microphone is a noise cancelling type with a preamplifier, press-to-talk switch,
and a retractable three-cord cable terminated by a three-pin male contacts, connector
which mates with the MIC/PTT connector located on the front panel of the transceiver.
