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 +99,900

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.

VFR

Momentarily pressing the VFR

Pushbutton/Function Selector Knob

recalls the preprogrammed VFR code,
superseding whatever code was

previously entered. If the VFR
Pushbutton is pressed inadvertently,

the previous code may be retrieved by
pressing the Function Selector Knob

and holding it for two seconds.

If a preset VFR code other than

the factory-set 1200 is desired, a new
code may be programmed as follows:

1. Place the unit in Standby (SBY)
2. Select the desired VFR code

3. While holding the IDT (Ident)

button in, momentarily press the

VFR button (Function Selector
Knob).

Function Selector Knob

The Function Selector Knob on

the right side of the KT 70 and KT 71
enables you to choose from among

the following operating modes:

For the KT 70 only, when the unit is
turned to another mode, the

installerprogrammed aircraft address
and the aircraft’s maximum airspeed

will be displayed, according to the
following sequence:


1.) The “FL” window will display

“AA1”, while, for two seconds, the
Ident window will display the first

four digits of the unique aircraft
address code.


2.) The “FL” window will display

“AA2” and the Ident window will
display the last four digits of the

aircraft address code.

3.) The “FL” window will display the

lower limit and the Ident window

the upper limit of the
preprogrammed airspeed range,

again for two seconds. The six
programmable ranges include 0-

75, 75-150, 150-300, 300-600,
600-1200 and greater than 1200

knots.
