Evaluation of the ARC Type R-34A Digital-Tuned VOR Radio Receiver with C-81A Control Unit
Abstract
Digital tuning of the type used in the ARC Type R-34A receiver with C-81A control unit is superior to manual tuning of the type used in the receiver component of the AN/ARN-30A VOR set. Automatic VAR/Localizer selection is a desirable feature. It is recommended that: (1) Digital tuning plus automatic VAR/Localizer selection be standard features of all future VOR receivers. (2) The feasibility of modifying existing Army VOR receivers to include these features be investigated, and (3) The Caribou, Mohawk, and any new production aircraft be equipped with digitally-tuned VOR radio receivers.
