VHF 20B
- Provides AM voice communication in the frequency range from 116.00-151.975 MHz
- Optional bandpasses available of more or less 8 kHz or more or less 15 kHz
- Solid state transceiver
- Typically used with either CTL-20 digital control or 313N-5 series analog controls
- Composed of subassemblies that mount on a central frame
- Similar to VHF-20A Comm Transceiver but includes extended range to 151.975 MHz
