The V10 transceiver introduction
The V10 is a VHF Airband transceiver with a 6W carrier power transmitter enclosed in a 3.1/8”
standard aviation panel mount (front mount) of compact mounting depth and very light weight.
A generously dimensioned LCD display provides clear frequency and function information.
The receiver spans the frequency range from 108 to 136.975Mhz (includes NAV frequencies)
while the transmitter covers the COM frequency range from 118 to 136.975Mhz.
Up to 100 memory channels and 10 frequency lists are provided in addition to direct
frequency selection.
The V10 receiver is based on a commercial broadcast quality system in a dual
superheterodyne configuration with a high first IF stage. Audio is demodulated using a
synchronous demodulator resulting in very high receive audio quality.
The receiver can be operated as dual frequency scanning radio.
The transmitter is based on a PDMOS output stage using a class D fully digital modulator.
Modulation is entirely under microprocessor control allowing excellent carrier modulation
under all conditions. As a welcome side effect this results in a very power efficient transmitter.
A unique, fully digital PLL operating at around 5Ghz is used as highly stable and spectrally
very clean source as local oscillator and transmit frequency source. No frequency calibration
is required during the lifetime of the V10 to remain within required tolerances.
The V10 receiver and transmitter circuits contain zero adjustment points and no line-up
procedure is required either during manufacture or during service life.
All audio processing is done in software using a high performance microprocessor using
digital signal processing principles. Conversion from and to analog is done using a 18 bit
CODEC.
A two circuit digital intercom system is included configured as pilot and passenger system.
Several advanced intercom options are included, made possible by the software
implementation of the system. Two independent ambient noise suppression systems are
included, each can be adjusted for a wide range of applications.
The V10 user interface is specifically designed to be used under difficult conditions such as
found in open cockpit aircraft. Discarding common rotary knobs in favor of large, well spaced,
tactile buttons allows convenient operation of the V10 even with gloved hands.
The V10 further integrates very comprehensive digital communications links allowing remote
control and downloading of frequency databases.
