Becker 3201 Radio

[[email protected]]

Inherited a Becker 3201 Radio when I bought my Ventus C. Would like to
get my hands on a copy of the manual. Does anyone have an electronic
copy they could send me? If that fails, can someone tell me how to
reset the preset frequencies?

I don't have the manual for this radio on my website but if you need wiring
diagrams these you can find on my web page

Turn the channel selector all the way to the right (usually preset at
121.5), set the frequency desired, turn selector to the number where
you want the new frequency, push the white button.

Call the Becker USA customer service people, and they can email you a
PDF manual. I have a Becker 4201 manual I'd be happy to email you, but
since you have a 3201, thay wouldn't help much.

Hardly likely that a PDF exists for a radio of that vintage, certainly wasn't
done that way originally. Maybe somebody has scanned it by now.

Probably more important for the OP to get a copy of the Sevice Bulletin
for the infamous leaking battery problem. Was posted to this group in 2001
by Olivier Dancer under the title "Becker AR3201".

The AR-3201 is a good radio (I have owned both the 3201 and the 4201).
You can find an electronic PDF copy of the manual on the Becker
website.

After a lot of searching online last winter, I was able to locate the
installation, operator's manual, etc. for the 3201 in pdf form. I
emailed these to the originator of this thread, but can pass them along
to anyone else who needs them.

A lot of folks have been asking for the docs and if I know their
source...so I started searching for them again mainly because I
couldn't recall myself. It turns out they are available on the becker
usa site, although not openly listed as a link anywhere I could find.

Thanks, that helps. But the ar3201PilotGuide.pdf is the normal
operator's manual, and it doesn't seem to be there. Would be nice
to get that up on a website somewhere.
