The BECKER TG 460 ground station offers a new
concept for ground to air communication on small and
regional air-fields, also for oil rigs and ships and for
airlines as a company frequency station.
Virtually all practical user requirements can be covered
by the TG 460. The heart of the TG 460 is a brand new
transceiver which utilises the most modern state of
the art technology to cover the whole 118.000 MHz to
136.975 MHz frequency range and is therefore operational
on all 760 channels. Preselection of 20 channels is a
standard built in feature as well as the scanning function
over the preselected channels.
The system is mounted in a 19" and 2 height units high
housing, available as desk-top or as 19" rack-mount
unit.
A simple, quick and easy to use operation is guaranteed
by way of the key pad on the front panel. A two line
display clearly indicates the selected operational mode.
The power supply is normally via the A.C. mains supply;
however an external DC back-up may be connected.
The base version of the system is offered in 5 and 10 Watt
transmitter carrier power versions.
Several options, and a complete packet of accessories
permit this system to be used in virtually every situation.
The transceiver may be controlled remotely via a multiwire
cable over a distance of up to 100 m, by using the
desk-top remote control. If remote control is required,
over larger distance or via 2-wire PTT lines, a 2-wire
interface and a remote control desktop unit with 2-wire
interface are already available.
The tape recorder connection permits the AF to be
recorded for documentational purposes.
When the optional internal battery is used, the system
is operational even in the case of a power failure, and
as the base station is then independent from the
mains power supply, it can be used as an emergency
station.
