The COM radios can also be tuned and selected using the keyboard.
1. Press COM 1 or COM 2 on the keyboard.
2. Enter the desired frequency in the form xxx.yyy.
NOTE:
For cardinal frequencies, the decimal point and digits after the decimal
point are optional.
Optional digits not entered by the pilots are automatically entered. For
example, for 25 KHz spacing, if the 2
nd
digit after the decimal point is 2,
the 3
rd
digit (5) is automatically entered.
3. Press ENTER. This tunes the standby frequency. To make it active, press
the SWAP key on the keyboard or do so by pressing the inner portion of the
right concentric knob on the PFD with the appropriate COM window selected.
Com Radio Monitor
In addition to the transmit radio, one additional COM radio can be monitored with
right line select key 2. Pressing the MONITOR line select key allows monitoring
of:
⎯
COM 1 Standby (S)
⎯
COM 1 Active (A)
⎯
COM 2 Standby (S)
⎯
COM 2 Active (A)
⎯
OFF
NOTE:
The ACTIVE COM radio cannot be monitored.
The monitor feature is independent of the other PFD; this allows a multi-pilot
crew to monitor different frequencies simultaneously.
Frequency monitoring is also available on the keyboard by pressing the
MONITOR key to swap through frequencies in the MONITOR line select window.
Volume and Squelch
Pilot volume and squelch control is available through a single rotary knob located
on the upper right portion of the PFD. Rotating the knob left or right decreases or
increases pilot audio volume. Pressing the knob activates squelch control and
rotating the knob left or right decreases or increases pilot squelch.
