accordance with the muting mode
selected.
CRW: (Crew) Pilot and copilot are
connected on one intercom channel
and have exclusive access to the
aircraft radios. The passengers have
their own intercom. The music that the
crew and passengers will hear is
determined by the Smart Function
Keys.
Marker Beacon Operation (9)
The Marker Beacon Receiver
uses visual and audio indicators to
alert you when the aircraft passes
over a Beacon transmitter.
The Blue, Outer Marker lamp has
an associated 400-Hertz 'dash' tone.
The lamp and tone will be keyed at a
rate of two tones/flashes per second
when the aircraft is in the range of the
Outer Marker.
The Amber, Middle Marker lamp
is coupled with a 1300 Hertz tone,
keyed alternately with short 'dot' and
long 'dash' bursts at 95 combinations
per minute.
The White, Inner marker lamp
has a 3000 Hertz 'dot' tone, and will
be keyed at a rate of six times per
second.
Marker Beacon Receiver audio
can be heard by selecting the "MKR"
pushbutton switch. There is a service
adjustment located on the top of the
unit, labeled MKR VOL, to adjust the
volume if desired.
The MKR button located next to
the indicator lights is used to set the
receiver sensitivity, to test the
indicator lamps, and mute the marker
audio.
Pressing the MKR button for one
second will cause the marker audio to
mute. The next beacon received will
re-activate the audio.
Holding the MKR button for one
second also activates marker test,
labeled "T/M" and illuminates all three
lights simultaneously to confirm the
lights (internal and external) are
working. Releasing the button returns
to the last sensitivity.
Split Mode
To activate the split mode, push
both the COM 1 and COM 2 XMT
(bottom) buttons at the same time. All
four indicators will come on. In the
split mode, the pilot is on COM 1,
while the copilot is on COM 2.
Select either of the com XMT
buttons to exit the split mode. It is not
possible to have the pilot on COM 2
and copilot on COM 1 in split mode.
NOTE: Due to the nature of VHF
communications signals, and the size
constraints in general aviation aircraft,
it is probable that there will be some
bleed-over in the Split mode,
particularly on adjacent frequencies.
