CAUTION: The GTR 200 display uses a lens coated with a special
anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and
abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM
THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the
lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is
specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.

DESCRIPTION
The GTR 200 Com Radio series provides a powerful VHF communications
transceiver in a small footprint at a very affordable price. Besides traditional Com
features, the GTR 200 series also incorporates workload-reducing functions such as
most-used frequency storage in memory.
The GTR 200 series has the ability to monitor the standby Com frequencies. The
GTR 200 (10 watt) Com radio operates in the aviation voice band, from 118.000 to
136.975 MHz, in 25 kHz steps.

Knob
The Power/Volume/Squelch knob located in the bottom left corner
of the bezel controls audio volume for the Com radio. Rotating the
knob clockwise past the detent turns power on and counter-clockwise
turns power off. When the Com radio is active, press the Power/
Volume/Squelch knob to toggle automatic squelch control On/Off for
the Com radio.
The GTR 200 features an automatic squelch that rejects many localized
noise sources. You may override the squelch function by pressing the
Power/Volume/Squelch
knob. This facilitates listening to a distant station
or setting the desired volume level.
To override the automatic squelch, press the
Power/Volume/Squelch
knob momentarily. Press the
Power/Volume/Squelch
knob again to
return to automatic squelch operation. A “SQ” indication appears to
the left of the active Com frequency window in the upper left corner of
the display when automatic squelch is overridden.

EMERGENCY CHANNEL
When a COM tuning failure is detected, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz)
is automatically loaded into the active frequency field of the GTR 200.
The GTR
200 will also quick tune the Emergency Channel when the FLIP/FLOP Key
is held down for approximately three seconds.
Quick Tuning the Emergency Channel:
Press and hold the FLIP/FLOP Key for approximately three seconds
or press the EMR Softkey if configured. The Emergency Channel will
be inserted into the Active Frequency position and the previous Active
Frequency, will become the Standby Frequency.
STUCK MIC
The GTR 200 helps protect you from a situation where the microphone
may get stuck in the ON or Transmit position. If the microphone is keyed
for longer than 35 seconds, the GTR 200 will return to the receive mode on
the selected frequency.
A “Stuck Mic” message will display until the transmit key is released.
Alerts will display until the error clears.

3D AUDIO
3D Audio is useful when multiple audio sources are present. By using
different responses in each ear, 3D audio processing creates the illusion
that each audio source is coming from a unique location or seat position.
Because this feature uses different signals for left and right channels,
it requires wiring for stereo intercom and stereo headsets. If 3D audio
is activated when mono headsets are in use, the listener will still hear all
audio sources; however, there is no benefit from location separation.
During normal operation and with 3D Audio enabled, the listener hears
the Active Frequency at the 12 o’clock position. If the Standby is selected
for monitoring, the listener hears the Active at 11 o’clock and the Standby
at the 1 o’clock position. Intercom positions are processed to sound like
their relative seat location. By default, the GTR 200 assumes the pilot sits
in the left seat.
