Airports present many communication challenges. Many FBO’s and corporate flight departments use two
different radio bands. The VHF radio is for aircraft/tower operation
communications such as UNICOM or ARINC and for business communications they use
a licensed UHF Land Mobile Radio (LMR) to handle business to business (B2B)
communications.
Mentor Radio has designed the M2115 integrating both of these radio
functions into one. With our LMR option* (Available in the near future) installed in the M2115, the
unit can support many new
functions utilizing both VHF and UHF. This option will provide
simplex/duplex LMR functionality along with low speed data providing on-board
"live" GPS asset tracking along with business data between mobiles and the base
station radio. There is a second USB, type B connector on the M2115 radio
to allow you to connect to a laptop or other computing device allowing
you to send data over this radio link.
-
The M2115 supports up to TWO RADIOS in ONE case,
simplifies operations and minimizes controls. One VHF aviation band
for UNICOM or ARINC communications and the other a UHF (LMR) radio for
business related communications. Control two radios with a single microphone.
Listen to both radios with a single
speaker. (See new capabilities when using
two radios.)
- The M2115 can be used as either a mobile or a base
station radio. (See capabilities of a
single VHF radio).
- New, unique features
for ground support communications:
- Wireless headsets - The M2115
has a XLR connector that when used in conjunction with our adapter,
available only thru Mentor Radio, (Option - xxx) from PRYMEBLU, allows the
user to use wireless Bluetooth headsets of any style to stay in
contact when outside of their vehicle. Noise protection wireless headsets
are recommended for very noisy areas.
- User adjustable power - maintains optimal transmitter level.
- Connects to an external power amplifier, like
Mentor Radio's PA25, for even more power.
When used with a PA25 the M2115 can transmit up to 25 Watts for better ARINC
communications.
- GPS resource tracking (future option)
- Two modes of operation,
downloadable and live; live mode requires the second radio (LMR) to be installed.
- Provides for a low cost/low speed data
path (future option)- When data connection between the mobile and the base station uses
a LMR radio.
- The M2115 is a fully synthesized radio that uses:
- Dual conversion super heterodyne receiver circuitry utilizing frequency synthesis tuning. The M2115 offers excellent interference rejection
while still providing superior weak signal sensitivity.
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP) providing digital modulation/demodulation
with enhanced digital filtering.
The M2115 can receive amplitude modulated (AM) signals along with
digital VHF data.
- Microcontroller controlled user input and output.
- Software security is incorporated to help prevent transmissions on unauthorized
frequencies. Channel configuration is user password protected with a
maximum of 64 authorized users. Once the configuration is protected
it cannot be changed except by authorized users.
- Built-in speaker. Mobile: 2" x 2" 4
Watt, Base Station: 50x90
mm 5 Watt.
- USB interfaces
for added capability:
- One USB type A connector
- One USB type B connector:
- Laptops use to allow sending business data using optional LMR
radio (future option).
- GPS data storage (future option): Laptops to receive GPS position data from radio for moving map
applications, vehicle driver training, restricted area warnings,
etc.
- Closed loop power control
for maximum transmitter versatility to provide
optimal transmitter signal while minimizing potential interference.

Features
-
Full 10 Watts of carrier power or a full 40 Watts
of Peak Envelope Power (PEP) at 100% modulation. The unit is designed
for better than 80% duty cycle.
-
Connects to external RF power amplifier for up to
50 Watts of transmitter power (25 Watts with PA25-E).
-
Two modes of Resource Tracking using optional GPS
module - either memory downloadable or "live tracking" through LMR
radio link.
-
Programmable maximum power (per channel ).
-
Full power control in 3 power steps (1 Watt, 5
Watts and 10 Watts).
-
SWR (Standing Wave Ratio)-Reverse RF power
detector prevents transmitter damage from transmitting into a defective
antenna load (both opens and shorts).
-
“Hot Mic”? Transmit time-out timer
stops transmission and frees the channel after 30 seconds of continuous
transmission.
-
Heavy duty microphone jack.
-
Base radio uses a fan cooled lightweight switching
power supply.
-
Remote control interface to connect to
either local extension or tone remote controllers. Along with remote
audio reception and transmission, users can remotely select up to 16
configured channels with appropriate tone remote adapter and controllers.
Remote accessories sold separately.
-
Mobile radio includes vehicle mounting bracket.

Mentor Radio offers a wide assortment of accessories to provide a complete
installation solutions.
Remote control units and remote control interface products,
coax and remote cables.
Two antennas are available for the base units.
We offer a narrow band type
526
ASP7A and a wide band type
514
AV-1 antenna. The frequency range you need to transmit is usually
the governing criteria in selecting the most suitable antenna for your
application. Even for narrow band applications, the AV-1 type antenna offers a
more durable antenna than the lower price ASP7A. Also the AV-1 does not
require tuning as the ASP7A does. We recommend the narrow band antenna when the
frequency range is < 1MHz, otherwise use a wide band antenna. It is
necessary to cut the ASP7A to the correct length for your operating frequency.
If used for multiple channels within a narrow band, cut the antenna to the
center frequency of your operating band. For example, if you want to use
121.000 MHz, 121.100 MHz and 121.200MHz you should cut the antenna for 121.100
MHz.
Two antennas are available for mobile units. A
thru-hole style antenna and a
magnetic mount antenna.
Two styles of
local control microphones to choose from.
A handheld noise canceling
microphone and a
517
pedestal style desktop microphone. Simple plug either microphone into the
front panel jack and you’re ready to talk.
