Continuing the legacy of our famous AR1 we decided to design the ultimate aircraft receiver kit. Now you're not limited to an all band receiver or scanner that has substandard performance in the AM aircraft band, but instead can have a super performance receiver designed specifically for the best aircraft reception possible! To begin with, we designed it with the latest technology, utilizing a rock stable synthesized PLL dual conversion receiver. We gave it superb image and adjacent channel rejection to allow you to lock onto the signals you want and not to be bothered by those you don't!

Once we got the RF portion designed we took a close look at the features desired in such a receiver. We gave it a neat 2x8 line LCD display to show you all the functions. Control of modes and setups is obtained through the front panel controls and confirmed on the LCD display. On/Off/Volume and Squelch controls are also provided on the front panel. We even gave it a front panel speaker in case you stack the lighting controller or something else on top of it!

So far we've described the ultimate aircraft receiver that's not only the perfect field monitor for a hangar or airport manager's office, but for the serious enthusiast. Can it get any better than that? It sure can!

The top request we've had for a professional aircraft receiver was to embed automatic runway lighting control. Consider it done! The lighting controller follows the standard protocol for remote runway lighting. The pilot "keys" his microphone on the local CTAF channel for the specified number of times. All you need to do is set the receiver for the lighting control mode, then make sure the squelch is closed and will open on a suitably strong signal. Typically the number of "keys" or "events" according to the receiver control the lighting as follows: 3 events, 25% brightness; 5 events, 50% brightness; and 7 events, 100% brightness. The AR2's adjustable lighting timer sets turn-on duration to your needs.

And what happens in the event of a local power failure or interruption to the AR2? Absolutely nothing! All receiver settings and all lighting control settings are saved in the internal memory. The rear panel lighting control output of the AR2 connects to our AR2LC to interface with individual runway lighting control circuits.

As we do with all of our kits, a detailed instruction manual not only leads you through the step-by-step construction and assembly procedures, it teaches you the circuit theory as well. Learn all about RF receivers and how a dual conversion PLL radio works! You'll be proud to tell your friends that you built this outstanding aircraft receiver!

Includes the matching case and knob set and power supply. For the aviation professional that is not interested in building the receiver, the AR2 and the lighting controller are also available factory assembled and tested, ready to go. Just plug it in and you're all set. (I can't get this thing off my desk, now I'm addicted to listening to Rochester approach!)
