been selected. To add speaker audio
simply push the Speaker Select
Switch (inner right knob) to the "in"
position. Pulling the switch to the "out"
position removes speaker audio.
Additional Receiver
Selection
In addition to the receiver selected by
the "Auto Com" feature described
above, other receivers may be
selected by pushing the
corresponding Audio Select Buttons.
Push button audio selection is
available for three Communications
receivers ("COM1", "COM2", and
"COM3"), two Navigation receivers
("NAV1" and "NAV2"), the internal
Marker Beacon receiver ("MKR"), one
DME, one ADF, and one additional
auxiliary receiver ("AUX"). The "AUX"
position could be used, for example,
for a second DME or ADF. When a
receiver's audio is selected, the green
annunciator illuminates at the bottom
of the button. Push the button again to
deselect the receiver's audio. Volume
for receivers is adjusted from the
individual receiver itself, not from the
KMA 26. Note that some receivers
such as DME and marker beacon
("MKR") may not have volume
adjustments available to the pilot but
these radios usually may be adjusted
at a Honeywell Sales and Service
Center.
Monitor Function
With the Monitor ("MONI" button)
function activated, if Com 1 is
selected on the Microphone Selector
Switch then Com 2 audio is
automatically routed to the speaker.
Likewise, if Com 2 is selected on the
Microphone Selector Switch then
Com 1 audio is routed to the speaker.
2
This feature may be used, for
example, if you are listening to ATC
on Com 1 through the headphones
and wish to monitor ATIS information
from Com 2 in the background
through the speaker. With the
Microphone Selector Switch in the
Com 1 position for ATC
communications, pressing the "MONI"
button routes Com 2 (tuned to ATIS)
audio through the speaker. Pressing
the "MONI" button again will disable
the feature.
When the Monitor function is
initially selected, the green
annunciators in the "MONI" button
and in the button for the Com being
monitored flash for approximately five
seconds. At the end of this time the
"MONI" annunciation remains on
steady while the Com annunciation
returns to its previous state (usually
off). The Monitor function is only
usable when Com 1 or Com 2 is
selected on the Microphone Selector
Switch.
Marker Beacon Receiver
The complete TSO'd three-light
marker beacon receiver built into the
KMA 26 gives you an accurate visual
and aural signal when you pass over
a 75 MHz beacon. The blue, amber,
and white lights on the faceplate, as
well as the audio tones, identify the
beacon type (outer, middle, or
inner/airway marker, respectively).
The "MKR" Audio Select button
must be pushed so that the green
annunciator is illuminated for the
marker beacon receiver to provide an
audio signal at beacon passage. The
toggle switch on the upper left side on
the faceplate provides the choice of
two receiver sensitivities. When the
switch is in the "HI SENS" (upper)
