Universal Avionics Systems Corporation's Radio Tuning
Unit (RTU) is a 2MCU box which provides the interface between the FMS
displays and Collins ProLine II radios for true frequency management
(Collins CSDB Interface). A single RTU allows dual FMS systems to be
interfaced with up to eight radios through the Collins CTL control
heads. The eight radios consist of the following: Three Comm, Two
Nav, Two ADF (single or dual control heads), One Transponder. This
frequency management is designed around the concept of providing an easy
method of selecting, preselecting (4 frequencies) and viewing active
channels of radios on board the flight deck. The CTL control heads and
the FMS frequency management are interactive and require no manual
switching for selection of one to the other.
