VHF COMM CHECK (GNC 300XL)
A flight test is recommended after the installation is complete to ensure satisfactory performance. To check the
communications transceiver, maintain an appropriate altitude and contact a ground station facility at a range of at
least 50 nautical miles. Contact a close ground station. Press the squelch disable button to defeat the automatic
squelch feature and listen for any unusual electrical noise which would reduce the COMM receiver sensitivity by
increasing the squelch threshold. If possible, verify the communications capability on both the high and low end of
the VHF COMM band.
