This board was constructed in an ESD (electroćstatic discharge) protected environment. This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this board are susceptible to damage by static discharge. Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degradation of device perforĆ mance, early failure, or immediate destruction. These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices. When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction. Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static senĆ sitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices. In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge buildćup on work surfaces and persons handling the devices. 165M0014-10 Page iii Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems RETURN MATERIAL POLICY Components and spare parts purchased from L–3 that are discrepant for any of the following reasons may be returned immediately provided the extended value of the parts are in excess of $100.00. 1.

Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 165M0014-10 Page 1–2 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems ProTec AIS Introduction 1.1. General The L-3 ProTec is an Automatic Identification System transponder which is fully compliant to the technical specifications defined by the IMO and outlined in ITU.R.M 1371-1. The transponder employs the latest radio frequency and SOTDMA and DSC controller technology to provide a high performance, automated, and reliable identification system for commercial mariners. The Transponder is a fully automated system which ties into ship’s navigational instruments to provide automatic transmission of ships identity, status, and maneuvering intentions via standard marine VHF communication techniques. Sequencing of transmission between all vessels within VHF range is provided through SOTDMA controlling software to handle high traffic volume situations. The Transponder is a fully automated system. This means that once it is installed and turned on, no maintenance is required to keep it operational. The only time the user needs to perform any function on the transponder is to change the ship’s Vessel/Voyage data as required. 1.1.1. System Overview The L-3 ProTec is an Automatic Identification System fully compliant with the IMO specifications defined in IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, IEC 61993-2, and ITU.R M.1371-1. This AIS transponder has been developed using technology applied in the design of our VHF DSC Class A radio, a design which has been field tested for over a decade with over 10000 units operational in the field. With the addition of the SOTDMA controllers, the L-3 ProTec provides a cost-effective AIS solution which will meet the needs of any vessel required to carry AIS. The compact, single-box design allows the L-3 ProTec to be easily incorporated into any bridge layout thus simplifying installation and cabling requirements. The L-3 ProTec has been designed as maintenance-free unit which makes extensive use of surface mount technology (SMT). The repair of printed wiring assemblies (PWAs) containing SMT components requires specialized factory equipment, training, and techniques, therefore, such PWAs are not field-repairable. As a result, maintenance philosophy for the L-3 ProTec is replacement of failed assemblies. In the case of the L-3 ProTec, the replaceable assemblies are the Faceplate Assembly (192M0093-00), the Main PWA (205M0023-12), the Channel 70 PWA (205M0003-01), the IEC PWA (205M0274-11), and the Controller PWA (205M0307-01). 165M0014-10 Page 1–3 Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems When it has been determined that one or more of these assemblies is faulty, the faulty assembly(ies) should be removed and returned to the Aviation Recorders factory for repair or replacement. Attempts to repair any of these assemblies will void the warranty. Extreme care should be used when handling these assemblies. For repair service, ship units to: L-3 Communications, Aviation Recorders 6000 East Fruitville Road Sarasota, FL 34232 USA Attn: Repair Department Tel: (941) 377-5558 Fax #: (941) 377-5585 CAUTION: 1.1.2. THE L-3 ProTec CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ELECTROSTATIC DESTRUCTION (ESD). PRIOR TO HANDLING PWAs, ENSURE PROPER PERSONNEL GROUNDING TECHNIQUES ARE USED. ENSURE THAT CARDS ARE PLACED INTO STATIC SHIELDING CONDUCTIVE BAGS WHEN HANDLING OR STORING.

Compact Design The completely self-contained L-3 ProTec is the most compact AIS unit available on the market today with outside dimensions of 6.5” W (16.5 cm.) x 3.4” H (8.6 cm.) x 7.4” D (18.8 cm.). It is easily mounted on any surface using either a trunion bracket or flush-mount bracket. The data port on the faceplate provides for easy connection to any external display in either mounting configuration. 1.3.2. Integral Minimum Keyboard Display (MKD) In line with the compact design, the L-3 ProTec is a single-box design incorporating an integral MKD which is fully IMO compliant. The interface includes a 2.58” L (6.5 cm.) x 1.16” H (2.9 cm.) (160 x 64 Dots) backlit LCD screen for displaying alphanumeric text and a multifunction keypad. The closest three vessels within AIS range will be displayed with each vessel identified by MMSI and ship name and will display both range and bearing to each vessel. The interface has been designed to facilitate data entry and retrieval with a minimum of keystrokes. It also includes a Pilot port designed to allow any user to quickly and easily attach a portable AIS-compatible display system directly to the AIS transponder for display of the AIS data. This display system can consist of any system which recognizes the NMEA AIS string whether it’s installed on a handheld PC, laptop PC, or dedicated display. 1.3.3. Integral GPS The L-3 ProTec includes an internal GPS receiver card. The internal GPS provides timing data required for synchronization of transmission. By specifications, ship positional information in NMEA format is to be fed to the transponder from the ships external electronic position indicating system through the supplied data cable. The internal GPS requires a dedicated GPS antenna to be mounted on the superstructure and the appropriate connections are supplied on the transponder unit back panel. 1.3.4. Data Interface Each transponder will be delivered with an IEC-specified NMEA standard data cable required to interface to ship’s sensors and external display. The description of this interface cable is given in the Installation Section of this manual. The standard kit includes an eight (8) ft. (2.9 meters) cable and a terminal block to facilitate the final linkup to the ship’s navigational instruments. Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 165M0014-10 Page 1–8 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 1.3.5.

Operational Modes The ProTec AIS is designed to operate in each of three modes: Autonomous and Continuous, Assigned and Polled which are defined below. 1.3.6.1 Autonomous and Continuous This is the default mode. The ProTec AIS will determine its own schedule for transmission of position and identification and will automatically resolve scheduling conflicts with other stations using the Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) methodology. 1.3.6.2 Assigned The ProTec will automatically switch to assigned mode when it is commanded by a competent authority, such as a base or repeater station, to transmit on a specific transmission schedule. In this mode, the ProTec allocates the defined slots and begins transmitting on these slots. It will continue to transmit in these slots with a zero slot time-out and a zero slot offset, until those slots have been removed from the transmission schedule. The assigned slots use the SOTDMA access scheme, with the time-out value set to the assigned slot time-out. The assignment terminates when the slot time-out reaches zero of any assigned slot, and the ProTec returns to autonomous and continuous mode. 1.3.6.3 Polled The ProTec AIS will transmit a response to DSC interrogation messages from a ship or competent authority and respond back on the same channel without interfering with either of the other two modes. When an automatic response is required, transmitted responses will be made on channel 70 unless the unit is instructed to transmit on another channel. The ProTec is inhibited from transmitting on the AIS 1 and AIS 2 channels. If and when frequency channels other than channel 70 are used for DSC transmissions, the receive capability of TDMA operations should not be impaired more than it would be if all DSC messages were transmitted on channel 70. 1.3.6.4 Initialization The ProTec AIS will enter into an Initialization mode at Power-Up during which it will monitor the TDMA channels for one minute. During this initialization period, a dynamic directory of all users in the system will be created which includes user IDs, slot assignments, positions, and other transmitted data. After this initialization period of 1 minute, the ProTec will enter the required operational mode and begin transmission of the AIS data on the required schedule. Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 165M0014-10 Page 1–10 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 1.3.7. DSC Functionality The Assigned and Polled operational modes are activated through a DSC message transmitted by the competent authority. In order to provide for this, the ProTec AIS contains a dedicated DSC receiver that is tuned to channel 70. DSC messages originating from shore stations of competent authorities will define regional AIS frequencies, regions of coverage, required transmission schedule and/or interrogation request. The ProTec AIS will respond back to such DSC interrogations on the frequency specified in a manner such that it does not interfere with the TDMA transmissions by interleaving the transmission between TDMA transmissions. The DSC response will be made after a random delay of 0 - 20 secs provided the signaling channel is clear and the TDMA transmissions are not interrupted. 1.3.8. AIS Broadcast Parameters A Class A AIS unit broadcasts the following information every 2 to 10 seconds while underway, and every 3 minutes while at anchor at a power level of 12.5 watts. The information broadcast includes: MMSI number - unique referenceable identification. Navigation status Speed over ground - 1/10 knot resolution. Position accuracy - differential GPS. Longitude - to 1/10000 minute and Latitude - to 1/10000 minute. Course over ground - relative to true north to 1/10th degree. True Heading - 0 to 359 degrees derived from heading sensor. Time stamp - The universal time to nearest second that this information was generated. In addition, the Class A AIS unit broadcasts the following information every 6 minutes: 165M0014-10 Page 1–11 MMSI number - same unique identification used above, links the data above to described vessel. IMO number - unique referenceable identification (related to ship’s construction). Radio call sign - international call sign assigned to vessel, often used on voice radio. Name - Name of ship, 20 characters are provided. Type of ship/cargo - there is a table of possibilities that are available. Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 1.3.9. Dimensions of ship - to nearest meter. Location on ship where reference point for position reports is located. Type of position fixing device - various options from differential GPS to undefined. Draught of ship - 1/10 meter to 25.5 meters [note “air-draught” is not provided]. Destination - 20 characters are provided. AIS Frequencies The International Telecommunications Union World Radio Conference in 1997 designated two VHF radio frequencies: 161.975 MHz (AIS1, or channel 87B) and 162.025 MHz (AIS2, or channel 88B) for AIS. In the US, the first channel is owned by MariTEL, a public coast station operator, and the second by the federal government. The USCG signed a Memorandum of Agreement with MariTEL for use of AIS 1, and has authority from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to use both AIS1 and AIS 2 US-wide for AIS operation. The USCG has asked the Federal Communications Commission to authorize any US vessel to operate AIS on these two channels under its existing ship station license. The FCC released a Notice authorizing operation of AIS under a ship’s existing station license. 1.3.10.

Long Range Equipment Interface The range of operation of standard AIS is limited to the range of VHF transmissions which is approximately 30 miles. The Long Range mode is intended to allow the exchange of ships position information from ship to a competent authority via a satellite interface such as Inmarsat-C which is already onboard many ships. This port is intended to interface with the Long Range equipment. The Long Range reply can be set in either: automatic mode (AUTO) manual mode L-3 ProTec (MANUAL) manual mode external application (EXT APPL). The Long Range reply, when in AUTO mode, is made as soon as a request is received on the Long Range communication port. 165M0014-10 Page 1–15 Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The Officer of the Watch must approve the Long Range reply when in MANUAL mode, by a means of pressing a keyboard button on the L-3 ProTec before the reply is performed. The Long Range reply, when in EXT APPL mode, is made by the L-3 ProTec upon reception of confirmation / acknowledgement from the external application via the high-speed ports. The external application acknowledges the interrogation by returning the LRF sentence (updated with reply information). 1.4.5.

When in Closest Vessel (default) screen, the Left or Right Arrow Keys will allow the user to toggle between the Ship Name display and the MMSI screen. (The MMSI screen will always be displayed for a vessel if the ship name is not known. FNC Function Key Used as the initial key in a key sequence to access the various secondary functions of the interface. CAN Cancel Key Used to cancel any edit made in a data entry field and revert data back to preexisting data. MSG Message Key Used to access the text messaging window, in order to send Safety Text Messages. ESC Escape Key Will bring user up one level on the menu system. The blue text above some of the keys identify the secondary definitions for each button. These secondary definitions are activated by pressing of the FNC button in a key sequence. SETUP Enters the AIS Main System Menu menu system. HOME Returns cursor to start position in a data entry field END Moves cursor to last position in a data entry field ALL System Information Menu The alphanumeric keypad is used to enter both numbers and letters. When alphanumeric text entry is expected, the nonnumerical options are presented before the numeric value of the key. For example, the number “2” key provides for entry of “A”, “B”, and “C”. When the cursor is positioned in a display field location that expects an alphanumeric character, the first press of the “2” key will result in the display of an “A”. Another press (in less than one second) will cause a “B” to be displayed. The next press shows a “C”, while the forth press shows a “2”. 165M0014-10 Page 2–5 Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Repeated key presses will result in cycling through the character options repeatedly. When the operator stops pressing keys for longer than the preset timeout, the last value is retained and the cursor moves to the next location in the field. Pressing a different key forces acceptance of the last character for the field and moves the cursor along. FNC-ENT 2.1.3.

AIS Transponder Interconnection Diagram 165M0014-10 Page 3–3 Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.1. Transponder The L-3 ProTec is a single box design which is easily installed into any existing bridge layout. The compact design requires minimal clearance (refer to Section 4 Figure 4–1 and Figure 4–2) and can be mounted in a trunion bracket or mounted flush using the available flush–mount bracket. Mount the transponder in a position which provides easy access to the keyboard and display. If using the trunion bracket, the mount itself may be used to mark the screw holes on the mounting surface. When locating the transponder, consider that the IMO mandates that the AIS keyboard and display be easily accessed from a navigable position on the bridge. If used, Mount the transponder in the trunion utilizing the trunion knobs provided, otherwise mount transponder in flush mount bracket. Locate and mount the terminal block or junction box in a position near the transponder. The IEC cable provided with the unit is 100 inches (2.54 m) long. Locate the terminal block in a fashion which allows for easy access to the terminals for making the connections to required input/output feeds. When connecting the power cable, the “Red“ lead goes to positive and “Black“ to negative. Ensure proper ground wire attachment to ships structure. The other two leads can be used to connect to an external alarm system. This alarm system can provide an audio and/or visual alarm in the event of an internal system malfunction, or if the AIS loses power or is turned off. Install the transponder, and complete the AIS Installation Checklist found it Appendix A, as follows: (1) Mount the transponder. (In trunion, if used.) NOTE: (2) Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 A junction box may be used in place of the terminal block. Locate an ideal position for the terminal block. Protected from weather. Protected from high heat. Protected from accidental contact with conductive material. Within 100 inches (2.5 m) of the transponder due to IEC data cable length. Grounding of terminal block to ship’s structure. Need to feed cables from navigational sensors. (3) Mount terminal block or junction box with self tapping screws. (4) Ground terminal block to ship’s structure using grounding cable provided. 165M0014-10 Page 3–4 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems For steps (5) through (9) refer to Paragraph 3.1.2. (5) Connect the IEC cable to data port on back of Transponder. NOTE: If an interface adapter must be used to convert either Gyro output and/or dGPS output to IEC (NMEA 0183) standard, the output from the interfaces should be located as near as possible to the sending unit (Gyro or dGPS) and the output cables led to the IEC terminal block. (6) Lead data cables from Gyrocompass data output port to terminal block. (7) Lead data cables from ship’s DGPS data output port to terminal block. (8) Feed the IEC data cable to the terminal block. NOTE: (9) The metallic shielding of each of the three shielded cables containing the twisted pairs must be connected to the terminal block using the shield drain wire connected to the shield. The shields from Cables 1 and 2 do not have to be connected. The shield from Cable 3 must be connected to TB pin ID 30, which is grounded to the ship’s hull. Connect each wire in the IEC data cable to the terminal block. (Refer to Figure 3–3 and Table 3–2.) (10) Connect power cable to transponder. (Refer to Figure 3–4.) NOTE: Due to the stringent transmit attack and release times specified in ITU 1371, a robust power source is required for proper operation. Recommended current ratings for power sources are: 24 VDC – 10 Amp The transponder may operate improperly if the power source does not have the recommended minimum current ratings. (11) Connect power cable to ships 24 Vdc, 10 Amp minimum power supply is recommended. ( Red + , Black – ) (12) Connect the other two leads to external alarm system if desired. (13) If an external display system is to be connected, lead the pilot port cable from the display unit to the terminal block. (Refer to Figure 3–5.) CAUTION: Do not power up the unit at this time. (14) Go to Paragraph 3.1.3. for VHF antenna installation steps. 165M0014-10 Page 3–5 Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.2. Connecting the IEC Data Interface Cable The AIS Transponder receives data from the ship’s sensors through a data interface cable which is connected to the back of the transponder through a data port. IMO regulations require that the ship heading, speed–over–ground (SOG), course–over– ground (COG), rate–of–turn (ROT) and position be transmitted from the AIS. In order to meet these requirements, the L-3 ProTec provides six (6) data channels to allow the AIS to be connected to the ships Gyrocompass and DGPS system in accordance with NMEA 0183. The L3 AIS is shipped with one IEC interface cable P/N 024M0088-01. All IEC/Pilot communications with the AIS is referenced with the L-3 ProTec considered the “MASTER” in that transmit data is OUTPUT from the L-3 ProTec, and receive data is INPUT to the L-3 ProTec. All channels are isolated with individual shielded twisted pair cables. The IEC connector (J4) is located on the back of the L-3 ProTec. (Refer to IEC 61993–2 annex D. and NMEA 0183) IEC channels 1, 2, and 3 are RECEIVE ONLY sensor inputs. Differential data (RS422) is received on each of these channels and internally converted to TTL for input to a standard UART. Channels 4, 5, and 8 are all RS422 interfaces. IEC channels 4 and 5 are TRANSMIT/RECEIVE channels for AIS data. IEC channel 8 is the AIS long range port. 3.1.2.1 Data Channels Data enters the Transponder through six (6) available data channels. Three data channels are low speed unidirectional (4800 baud) channels suitable for data input to the transponder. The other three data channels are high speed bidirectional channels (38400 baud) which support both input and output to/from the transponder. The channels are described below by channel number and type. Suggested uses of each channel are provided but it is not required that a user define the channels in this fashion. The internal software in the transponder is able to distinguish the type of data feeding from each channel provided all data streams subscribe to the IEC 61162 format (NMEA 0183). Table 3–1. Data Channels Channel BAUD Type Suggested Use 4800 Receive dGPS (COG, SOG, LAT, LON) 4800 Receive Rate of Turn 4800 Receive Heading (Gyro) 38400 Transmit / Receive PC Application 38400 Transmit / Receive ARPA/ECDIS 38400 Transmit / Receive Long Range Tracking (Dedicated) Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 165M0014-10 Page 3–6 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The IEC I/O electrical characteristics are as follows: The “A”, “B” and “C” leads are as defined in IEC 61162–1, 61162–2 and V.11. “A” and “B” are both signal leads with “C” being the effective return for both the “A” and “B” leads. “A” and “B” operate differentially to each other. High–level output voltage is 4V minimum from the “A” lead to the “C” lead and from the “B” lead to the “C” lead. Low–level output voltage is 0.4V maximum. Recommended maximum output current capability is 110mA. Input is differential from “A” to “B”. Effective input resistance is 4.9k ohm across “A” and “B” and 96k from “A” or “B” to “C”. Differential input voltage threshold is 250mV maximum. Inputs will meet the requirement of withstanding +/–15V between any two leads, “A”, “B” or “C”. 3.1.2.2 Data Cable Each transponder will come shipped with an 100 inches long IEC data cable (P/N 024M0088-01) terminated at one end by a J4 connector. (Refer to Figure 3–2 and Figure 3–3.) The IEC data cable is shielded and contains three smaller diameter cables, each of which is also shielded. Each of these smaller cables contains three shielded twisted pairs (STP) each and each STP includes a drain wire. A low speed unidirectional (input only) data channel (4800 Kbs) is carried through one STP, and a high speed bidirectional (input/output) data channel (38400 Kbs) will require two pairs. 3.1.2.3 Terminal Block A terminal block is the preferred installation method for completing the data interface (NMEA) because data output from a ship sensor ( dGPS, ROT, Gyro) may not subscribe to a standard pinout definition. As such, each installation may require that the installer identify and cross reference the sensor pinouts with the IEC pinouts, which is a well defined standard pinout description. The terminal block allows for greater flexibility in completing the connection to the ship’s sensors. A junction box may be made available which terminates the data cable on the terminal block and provides serial connectors to allow for easy connection to ship sensors. However, the installer will need to confirm the pinout definitions for the sensor outputs before completing the connection correctly. 165M0014-10 Page 3–7 Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems P1–Connector, Cannon p/n 2DA31P Metal or metalized plastic backshell, Cannon p/n DA121073–150 or Equivalent Pin 22 Pin 1 Pin 31 Pin 10 Thumbscrew, Cannon p/n 250–8501–013 or Equivalent Cable, ECS p/n 622818 Marker, Brady p/n PWC–PK3 or Equivalent 10 in. 2 in. 2.54 cm 0.5 cm 100 in. 12 in. 25.4 cm 3 cm Figure 3–2.

It is recommended that a high quality antenna be purchased from an established source and that all manufactures instructions be followed with particular attention to cable routing and connector installation. Some important considerations in antenna installation are: In general, antennas should be located as high as practical on the vessel and separated as much as possible from each other. The VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position with a minimum of 2 meters clearance from any construction that is made with conductive material. In addition, it should not be installed close to any large vertical obstruction, and the VHF antenna should have a 360° line of sight to the horizon. It is preferable that the VHF antenna is installed at least 3 meters away from high power energy sources such as radar and other transmitting radio antennas, and out of the transmitting beam. There should not be more than one antenna on the same level. The AIS VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, with no separation and with a minimum of 2 meters vertical separation. If the VHF antenna is located on the same level as other antennas, the distance between them should be at least 10 meters. To install the VHF antenna, perform the following: (Refer to Figure 3–6 and Figure 3–7.) (1) Position the antenna mounting bracket on a rigid and structurally sound surface. (2) Install the antenna on the antenna mount. NOTE: Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable and keep cable length as short as possible to reduce signal attenuation. (3) Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transponder location. (4) Trim cable to length leaving a few inches slack at the transponder. (5) Attach the connectors to the end of the coaxial cable. (6) Connect the cables to the transponder. Soldering the connection is recommended. 165M0014-10 Page 3–13 Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.4. Installing the GPS Antenna The correct installation of a GPS antenna is crucial to the operation of the transponder because the internal transmission synchronization relies on the accuracy of the time signal obtained from the GPS. It is recommended that a high quality GPS antenna be purchased from an established source and that all manufactures instructions be followed with particular attention to cable routing and connector installation. Some important considerations in GPS antenna installation are: GPS antennas should be located to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. GPS signals can be affected by RADAR and SATCOM transmissions. As such, GPS antennas should be positioned below and at least 5 meters away from RADAR and SATCOM antennas and outside of the beam path. GPS signals can also be affected negatively by VHF and HF transmissions, and the GPS antenna should be positioned at least 3 meters from these types of antennas. The GPS antennas can be flat mounted onto any surface but it is recommended that it be elevated from the deck surface (20–30 cm.) to prevent ice or spray from negatively impacting the signal reception. Recently, it has been identified that certain makes/models of TV antennas can drastically interfere with GPS reception. As such, the installer should place the GPS antenna as far away from any shipboard TV antennas as possible and confirm that any antennas used on board are not ones which have been exhibited GPS interference problems. To install the GPS antenna, perform the following: (Refer to Figure 3–6 and Figure 3–7.) (1) Position the antenna mounting bracket and/or antenna mast on a rigid and structurally sound surface. (2) Install the antenna on the antenna mount. NOTE: Initial Issue Dec. 01/06 Use only high quality RG213/RG214 coaxial cable and keep cable length as short as possible to reduce signal attenuation. (3) Run the coaxial cable from the antenna to the transponder location through an existing throughhull. (4) Trim cable to length leaving a few inches slack at the transponder. (5) Attach the connectors to the end of the coaxial cable. (6) Connect the cable to the transponder. Soldering the connection is recommended. 165M0014-10 Page 3–14 Aviation Recorders Marine Systems RG213/RG214 COAXIAL CABLE 100 FEET 30 METERS RG213/RG214 COAXIAL CABLE 30 FEET 9 METERS Figure 3–6.
