    The small volume knob controls the intercom level for the pilot and copilot, while the large knob controls the passenger intercom volume. Intercom squelch is automatic. A 3-light, 75 MHz Marker Beacon receiver is integrated in the PMA8000BT. This provides the necessary Marker Beacon lights and audio indications necessary for that portion of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach.

    Com with the XMT buttons. 3.2.1.3 Monitor Mode The PMA8000BT is equipped with a Monitor function, which allows a secondary com radio audio to be muted by the primary radio (selected for transmit). See §3.11.2 for more information. 3.3 Audio Selector (4) Communication audio from the other radio, not selected for transmit, can be heard by pressing the assoc i- ated RCV button.

    The pilot and copilot will also have transmit capability on the other selected transceiver. In ISO intercom mode, when the PMA8000BT is in the TEL mode, the pilot position is in the "Phone Booth." Only the pilot will hear the telephone, and only he will be heard. He will also have access to Com 1 or 2, and will transmit on that radio using the PTT.

    Therefore, it may not recognize speech and clip syllables in a quiet cabin, such as in the hangar, or without the engine running. This is normal. For optimum microphone performance, PS Engineering recommends installation of a Microphone Muff Kit from Oregon Aero (1-800-888-6910). This will not only optimize VOX performance, but will improve the overall clarity of all your communications.
