MicroAvionics Powered Radio Interface.
Thank you for buying a MicroAvionics MK3 Powered Radio Interface. Our interface uses advanced circuit design to provide the very
best operation with minute power consumption, while giving universal connectivity between Microlight Aircraft Headsets and any Radio
Transceiver. It also allows connection with a Secondary Radio, Voice Recorder, Mobile Phone, and two audio/ Music Source and LED
control indicator. It has Remote Press-to-Talk connections for both headsets and a transmit. Status indicator LED's allow the user to
visually check Battery Status, Transmitter On, Receiver Active, and Power Connection. External RX /TX LED indicator can also be fitted
the the CONTROL output jack.
The interface is fully user configurable to suit your preferences. The user should read these instructions carefully before connecting the
interface or making any alterations. There are several settings that can be altered by the user, however when you purchase the unit it
should be set by the dealer to match your radio type. You may also fine-tune the interfaces' Audio gain, and set the Music muting control
and Mobile Phone levels.
Note:
Gain settings should be left reasonably high, but if the setting is too high you may hear a high pitch squeal on the intercom or on the
receiving radio. Take time to optimise these settings but if you do not want to alter the interface, your system will still provide most
functionality providing your dealer has set the system for your radio.

Functions.
A typical, fully loaded system may be connected as follows:
An Airband radio is connected as the main radio. A second radio (such as a PMR type) is connected for talking to other users while in
flight. (This avoids unwanted chat on the airband frequency). Also a Mobile phone may be connected and a music source added for
background music. GPS or PCAS audio may also be connected. A camcorder or dictating recorder may be connected and this will
record everything the user hears on the headsets. Remote LED can be connected to CONTROL jack socket for dash board RX/ TX
indication.(Music second radio and Phone is muted when the main radio receives a signal allowing you to hear ATC instructions, the
mute circuit fades in music etc. after main radio activity has finished).
You may also connect a 12 – 14V volt battery supply to the system. Note: you do not have to connect an external voltage as the
headset batteries will power the system. If the supply is connected then this will trickle charge the batteries, power the hand held radio
and power the radio interface.
If the interface is used without an external power source it will operate in "Micropower" mode consuming only 3mA from each headset, in
this situation the LED's are not operational so as to extend battery life.
There are five LED indicators that show:
1.
External Power On
