3-19. DESCRIPTION – UHF/AM RADIO SET
(AN/ARC-116 or AN/ARC-164).
The UHF-AM radio set AN/ARC-116 or AN/ARC-164
(figures 3-5 and 3-6) provides two-way UHF amplitude
modulated (AM) narrow band voice communications
within the frequency range of 225.00 to 399.95 MHz on
3500 channels for a distance of approximately 50 miles
as limited by conditions. A guard receiver is incorpo-
rated in the set and is fixed tuned to 243.00 MHz. Both
receivers are disabled during transmitter operation. The
radio set is marked UHF AM COMM and is mounted in
the bottom center section of the instrument panel. The
UHF radio transmitter and main receiver operate on the
same frequency and are simultaneously tuned by fre-
quency selector knobs on the panel. The set utilizes
position number 2 of the C-6533/ARC intercommunica-
tions control panel. The AN/ARC-164 provides for
twenty preset channels in addition to the manual selec-
tion of channels. Preset selection is accomplished by
positioning the mode switch to PRESET and function
selector to MAIN. Select the desired frequency with the
frequency selector knobs and press the PRESET push-
button located under the access cover upper left portion
of radio.
