The XCOM 760 VHF Transceiver is one of several innovative avionics products to be released by X-Air Australia. Based on the very successful Microair and Becker ranges, the XCOM 760 offers many advanced features previously only available in the more expensive brands. Designed from the ground up, the XCOM offers superior performance under the demanding and noisy conditions experienced in many amateur built aircraft. With low power consumption, this radio is ideally suited to use in gliders, homebuilts and ultralights. A full 6-Watt carrier and +20 Watt PEP output ensure that you will be heard above the general chatter in busy airspace and the full VOX intercom with music input will enhance your enjoyment of the flight. With expanded receive range up to 163 MHz, the XCOM 760 provides NOAA Weather reception and has an optional CAP capability, ensuring that you are always aware of impending weather conditions. Additional safety enhancements such as dual watch allows the pilot to listen to the standby frequency while still monitoring the primary frequency. The XCOM 760 also has 99 memory channels, large volume and channel selector knobs and well spaced buttons. This radio is extremely easy to operate even when wearing flight gloves and you can even check the condition of your battery with the built in voltage monitor. Software update capability and Internet downloads mean that you are always provided with the latest features. The XCOM 760 offers superior quality, enhanced features and improved performance over many of the more expensive airband radios, without the high cost found in other brands. Features, value for money and performance have quickly establish the XCOM 760 as the standard radio for light sport aircraft use.
