control is through two concentric front panel knobs and a pushbutton intercom mode switch. The small
volume knob controls the intercom level for the pilot and copilot, while the large knob controls the passen-
ger intercom volume. Intercom squelch is automatic.
The PMA8000C P/N 050-890-0303 has a 6-place intercom, while the 050-890-0313 can support two ex-
pansion units for up to a 14 place intercom (2 crew +12 passenger positions).
A 3-light, 75 MHz Marker Beacon receiver is integrated in the PMA8000C. This provides the necessary
Marker Beacon lights and audio indications necessary for that portion of an Instrument Landing System
(ILS) approach. A pushbutton labeled MKR allows the pilot select the receiver audio as well as test and
mute modes.
In the PMA8000C, a Bluetooth® wireless interface is available for wireless telephone and music connec-
tion.
