Description
The main junction box for the AN/VIC-1. Provides control of the dc power to the associated crew member control boxes and to the radio system that may be connected to the amplifiers. The amplifiers also amplify and control the audio signals in the intercommunication (intercom) and radio circuits. The AM-1780 also allows connection of 2-wire telephone equipment, or direct 2-wire connection between similarly equipped vehicles via binding post connectors. See sample integrations for other non-standard radios at Integrating the VIC-1 with other equipment.
