1INTRODUCTION
This manual defines the installation of the RT-7000 series, antenna configuraitons and
software configurations that effect the RT-7000 series products. This will include the
following RT-7000 products:
The Panel Mount Radio (PMR)
The Remote Mount Radio (RMR)
The Remote Control Display Unit (RCDU)
The modular architecture of the RT-7000 series can accommodate any of the
following modules. This can be any combination of:
Cobham Wideband Transceiver
Cobham Motorola APX 8000
Cobham Search and Rescue Module
Brief System Overview
The RT-7000 series comprises of modules that can be both embedded into the RT-
7000 platforms, or accessible externally of the platform, and control units, MCDU and
the RCDU that can interface with the RT-7000 series products.
Shown below, Figure 1-1, is the framework for the RT-7000 Panel Mount Radio,
configured with three internal modules.

The RT-7000 RMR, as depicted in Figure 1-2, is a remote mounted platform capable of
housing three modules. The RT-7000 RMR features no touchscreen as the radio is
completely controlled remotely via RCDU or MCDU.

1.1 COMPLIANCE
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Compliance
The conditions and tests for TSO approval of this article are minimum performance standards. Those
installing this article, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft, must determine that the aircraft installation
conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have separate approval for installation in an
aircraft. The article may be installed only according to 14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness
requirements.
The RT-7000 PMR and RMR and designed to meet the standands of ANSI/TIA-603-E and TSO-C169a
for VHF COM Transceivers, meeting receiver class D (used in a 25 kHz channel separation environment
having offset carrier operation) and meeting transmitter class 4 (100 mile maximum range with 25 kHz
channel separation). The average transmitter output power is 4 Watts for AM and 10 Watts for FM. The
wide band transceiver (CWT) in the RT-7000 can not be used as TSO’d VHF ATC COM in Part 25 aircraft
operating with a 200 mile communication range.
The RT-7000 wideband transceiver (CWT) is designed to be a VOICE radio only. It does not have data
capability and therefore the audio from the ACARS modem shall not be connected to the RT-7000
microphone input and the RT-7000 shall not be used to send or receive ACARS data.

5SYSTEM INSTALLATION
5.1 GENERAL
This section contains component specifications and examples of typical system
configurations for the RT-7000 PMR Panel Mount Radio transceiver and the RCDU.
System power requirements are included in Table 5-1. Figure 5-4 through Figure 5-7
show generalized system interface diagrams.
The RT-7000 PMR Panel Mount Radio (PMR) system consists of:
RT-7000 PMR Panel Mount Radio: An LRU designed to be mounted in a cockpit
panel. The PMR can contain three independent transceivers, as well as
interfacing with up to two handheld radios.
Audio Panel: The PMR is designed to interface with standard aircraft audio
systems. Channel 1 may be configured to interface directly with a headset, it
features standard microphone bias capability for backup applications.
NOTE: RT-7000 Channels 2-5 do not feature microphone bias.
Antennas: The PMR has an independent coax output for each internal
transceiver. The coax outputs may be connected to a variety of antennas and/or
switches.
118 MHz High Pass Filter (HPF): The 118 MHz HPF is designed to add additional
protection from the strong transmitters in the commercial FM frequency band.
This filter protects the Wide Band Transceiver from interference from these
strong transmitters. If the RT-7000 is to be used as a TSO’d VHF ATC COM
radio, the 118 MHz HPF must be installed in the antenna feed between the coax
connector for the Wide Band Transceiver and its antenna.
The RT-7000 RMR Remote Mount Radio (RMR) system consists of:
RT-7000 RMR Remote Mount Radio: An LRU designed to be rack mounted in the
aircraft. The RMR can contain up to three independent transceivers, as well as
interfacing with up to two handheld radios. Two variants of the RMR mounting
racks are available: one rack to accommodate one RMR, and a dual rack
accommodating two RMRs.
Audio Panel: The RMR is designed to interface with standard aircraft audio
systems. Channel 1 may be configured to interface directly with a headset, it
features standard microphone bias capability for backup applications.
NOTE: RT-7000 Channels 2-5 do not feature microphone bias.
These commodities, technology or software are controlled in accordance with the United States Export Administration Regulations, Export Classification
Control Number (ECCN) EAR99. When exporting, diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited.

Antennas: The RMR has an independent coax output for each installed
transceiver. The coax outputs may be connected to a variety of antennas and/or
switches.
118 MHz High Pass Filter (HPF): The 118 MHz HPF is designed to add additional
protection from the strong transmitters in the commercial FM frequency band.
This filter protects the Wide Band Transceiver from interference from these
strong transmitters. If the RT-7000 is to be used as a TSO’d VHF ATC COM
radio, the 118 MHz HPF must be installed in the antenna feed between the coax
connector for the Wide Band Transceiver and its antenna. It is expected
Ground/Flight testing, as necessary, will demonstrate the HPF does not prevent
acceptable communications may continue to occur when the additional
attentiation from HPF is present for aircraft airwothiness approval needs.
The RT-7000 Remote control Display unit (RCDU) system consists of:
Remote Control Display Unit (RCDU): The RCDU is a controller which has the
same display as the RT-7000 PMR with similar control functions, intended to
allow remote control of the RT-7000 PMR and RMR. It is packaged in a chassis
with less depth behind the panel than the PMR.
The RCDU allows remote operators (e.g. EMTs in the aircraft cabin) to access the
communications features of the 7000 series transceivers excluding ATC on a
PMR. When connected to an RMR the RCDU will feature the ability to access the
ATC communication menu.
5.2 CERTIFIED INSTALLATIONS
For installations that require certification to TSO-C169a and use as a VHF ATC COM,
the following steps must be taken:
- If the aircraft is equipped with an ACARS system, the RT-7000 audio must not be
connected to the ACARS system. The RT-7000 PMR and RMR are designed to be
a VOICE radio only. It does not have data capability and therefore the audio from
the ACARS modem shall not be connected to the RT-7000 microphone input and
the RT-7000 shall not be used to send or receive ACARS data.
- When wiring the RT-7000 PMR or RMR to other aircraft systems, ensure that the
COSITE_TX discrete is connected in the installation. The Cosite_TX to
TX_Interlock connection is required for TSO-C169a Certified Installations. Ensure
that the COSITE_TX discrete (pin 67) is connected to the TX Interlock or
equivalent I/O on other VHF and UHF radios within the aircraft that have a similar
type of TX Interlock discrete.
It is expected that Ground/Flight testing, as necessary, will demonstrate that the
attenuator that is enabled by the COSITE_TX does not prevent acceptable
communications. For aircraft airworthieness approval needs, acceptable
communications may continue to occur when the additional attentiation is present.
- The RT-7000 PMR and RMR were not designed to operate as the main VHF
communication radio in a Part 25 aircraft. The Wideband Transceiver has a Class
