Good morning y'all. 

I am wanting to add a second radio to my CJ. I am looking at theÂ  MGL V6Â Â  and the Becker AR6201. Both of these are the 2 1/2" round radios. Does anyone have any experience with either one of these radios regarding support, clarity, range, easy of use, readability in bright cockpit, etc.Â  The other option would be add a Garmin GTR 200Â  which is a great radio full of features to the vertical stack giving me 2 radios and 1 transponder that would hang below the center of the instrument panel. However, placing another radio in the vertical stack places the transponderÂ  downÂ  to where accessibility could be an issue or when working under and behind the panel.

Greg,

I installed the Becker 6201 6 weeks ago replacing the much older 4201(has been 12 years in my Yak52).

Originally I had the intention and already purchased the Funkwerk 833 Oled. During the installation however I found out that the the square fitting behind the panel does not fit the Funkwerk but only the Becker6201 instead. The necessary mechanical work to fit the Funkwerk  was unacceptable so I decided to change to the Becker 6201.

At the end of the day that was good decision. The 6201 is a great radio with a very good readable lighted display. Originally I made my choice for the Funkwerk because of the Oled display. An Oled display is readable under all light conditions and I was afraid that the Becker wasn’t. A LCD display has a certain viewing angle and the 4201 was a pain in the b…. to read. Fortunately Becker did an excellent job on the display of the 6201. It is very good readable. The main unit has a possibility for a slave control unit in the rear cockpit (like the Funkwerk) and immediate access to controls for the squelch, volume etc.

I do NOT recommend to use the internal intercom. I already had the PM1000 in use and did not change it. Why change something which is already very good…right?

One  of my friends uses the internal intercom in a Stearman and decided to add an external intercom. The problem with radio’s with build in intercoms is that to make adjustments to intercom settings y’ll always have to go through a menu. Not handy in our environment of a Yak or CJ.

I am happy to give you a call when necessary.

Fly safe!

Hans O.
