INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing our COM 2KR –
Remote VHF Transceiver
. Here at Val Avionics Ltd., our core design
philosophy is based on the ease of installation and use. The COM 2KR represents 20 years of refinement in that
process, based on the feedback of customers that have used the COM 760. The COM 2KR takes the original idea of
the COM 760: a simple-to-use, reliable unit without the frills of other radios, and overhauls that idea with new and
exciting features.
That design philosophy translates into ease of installation and integration that makes the COM 2KR –
VHF
Transceiver
a communication solution specialized for operating with the latest EFIS system technology. The COM
2KR satisfies the need for compact, fully integrated, quality radio that can be counted on to provide years of
maintenance-free, reliable service.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The COM 2KR has been designed for integration with most major EFIS systems. Using the NEMA-0187
communications standard, the interface is compatible with the Garmin SL-30 command stack. Using state-of-the-art
technology Val Avionics Ltd. has created a radio that will provide the pilot with seamless and easy-to-operate
communications.
The COM 2KR simplifies installation into an aircraft by allowing installation anywhere. Using a standard RS-232
serial connection, the COM 2KR can connect to many available EFIS systems available today.
The COM 2KR has one internal receiver. The internal receiver operates from 118.00 MHz to 137.975 MHz. This
receiver is capable of receiving down to 2
µ
V with a 6dB signal-to-noise ratio.
The COM 2KR has many audio inputs and outputs to facilitate any installation. The unit has two capacitively
coupled audio inputs for adding a Nav receiver audio output or other such audio device. The COM also has a 5W
speaker output and 50mW headphone output.
