Rockwell-Collins VHF-20 series


We are also interested in VHF system documents to help our friends who are looking for information

23 March 2017

The VHF-20 was the first generation of the commercial system after the 618M series. The VHF-20 then evolved to the VHF-21 and later into the VHF-22 version. The VIR-30, the navigation receiver also evolved more or less at the same time. There was the VIR-30 which over time, became the VIR-31 and then the VIR-32.

Rockwell Collins VHF Navigation Radios (receiver)
Radio navigation system providing VOR, localizer, glideslope, and marker beacon outputs as 
well as VOR/ADF display for general aviation aircraft.  
Some units have 200 VOR/LOC channels and 40 glideslope channels. 
The VIR-30 series are compatible with standard 2-out-of-5 control units.  
Provides navigation outputs to interface with pictorial navigation systems, analog area 
navigation systems, and conventional flight control systems
