“pressure altitude,” and should not be
confused with true altitude. Please
note that the displayed altitude may
not agree exactly with the aircraft’s
altimeter when flying below 18,000
feet, because encoders are preset to
29.92 inches of mercury. An
encoder’s altitude transmission is
automatically corrected for proper
altimeter setting by a ground based
computer, to present the correct
altitude to the controller.
Ranging from -1,000 to +99,000
feet, Flight Level Altitude is displayed
only when altitude reporting is
enabled. If the altitude window is
blank or shows a series of dashes (as
in the case of an invalid altimeter
code being reported), altitude
reporting will be disabled.
CLR Button
Code entry mistakes are
corrected, one digit at a time, by
pressing the CLR button and
reentering the correct code. The last
active code will be displayed if a
complete four-digit code has not been
entered and there is no activity on any
of the code entry buttons, the VFR
button, or the CLR button for four
seconds.
VFR Button
Momentarily pressing the VFR
button will enter a pre-programmed
VFR code, typically 1200, in the code
window. Pressing and holding the
VFR button for two seconds will cause
the last active code to be displayed.
During installation, it may be
desired to set the default VFR code to
a code other than 1200. The VFR
code is programmed by the following
sequence:
1. Place the unit in standby.
2. Enter the desired VFR code with
the ident code pushbutton
switches.
3. Depress the “VFR” pushbutton
while holding the “IDT”
pushbutton in its depressed
position.
Reply Indicator
The reply indicator blinks to
indicate that the KT 76C is functioning
properly and replying to
interrogations.
Squawk Ident
When you are asked to “ident” by
ATC, press the IDT button. The reply
indicator will illuminate continuously
for 18 seconds during the ident
interval.
