Frequency Toggle Arrow Frequency Tuning BoxFigure 1-3 Frequency Toggle Arrow and Tuning Box1.6 FREQUENCY TOGGLE ARROWA Frequency Toggle Arrow appears between the two frequencies of the radio sub-window on which the fre-quency tuning box is located. Pressing the dual COM or NAV knob toggles both the frequency tuning box and the Frequency Toggle Arrow between the radios.NOTE: If the frequency tuning box is on a selected COM sub-window when a signal is received or transmitted for this radio, the Frequency Toggle Arrow is replaced by an RX or a TX indication, respectively.NOTE: When the desired frequency is entered in the tuning box, it becomes a standby frequency. Pressing the Frequency Toggle key places this standby frequency into the active ﬁ eld, and vice versa.1.7 RADIO STATUS INDICATIONS• RX – When a signal is received on a COM radio, a white RX indication appears to the right of the corresponding COM frequency for the duration of the signal reception.• TX – When a microphone is keyed, a white TX indication appears to the right of the correspond-ing COM frequency for the duration of the signal transmission.• ID – When the VOL/PUSH ID knob is pressed, a white ID indication appears to the left of the NAV frequency on the selected NAV sub-window and the Morse code identiﬁ er audio for the selected VOR frequency can be heard if the corresponding NAV radio is selected on the audio panel.!!!!G1000_COM-NAV_PG.indd 3 2/10/2004, 8:47:24 AM

Turning the VOL/PUSH SQ knob clockwise increases volume level, while turning this knob counter-clockwise decreases volume level.2.3 AUTOMATIC SQUELCH Automatic squelch provides maximum sensitivity to weaker signals while canceling most localized noise sources. Automatic squelch can be disabled for a COM radio by pressing the COM knob to select the desired COM sub-window, then by pressing the VOL/PUSH SQ knob.When automatic squelch is disabled for a COM radio, COM audio remains continuously open and an RX indi-cation appears between the active and standby frequency ﬁ elds of this radio.Figure 2-1 Overriding Automatic SquelchNOTE: Pressing the VOL/PUSH SQ knob when automatic squelch is disabled reactivates the automatic squelch function.2.4 SWITCHING THE TUNING BOX BETWEEN COM RADIOSPressing the COM knob toggles the frequency tuning box between the COM1 and COM2 ﬁ elds.NOTE: When a different COM MIC is selected on the audio panel, the frequency tuning box also moves on both the PFD and MFD.

Conversely, turning either knob counterclock-wise decreases the tuned frequency. The tuned frequency is placed in the standby frequency ﬁ eld of the COM Fre-quency window.NOTE: Only when tuning frequencies manually can the standby frequency ﬁ eld for a COM radio be tuned to the same frequency as that located in the active ﬁ eld for the same COM radio.2.6 TOGGLING COM FREQUENCIESPressing the COM Frequency Toggle key toggles the COM frequencies between the active and standby ﬁ elds of the COM radio on which the Frequency Toggle Arrow is located.2.7 SELECTING COM RADIOSTo be selected, a COM frequency must be placed in the active ﬁ eld and the corresponding COM radio must be selected on the GMA 1347 audio panel.

The TX indication disappears once COM transmission is completed.When a COM signal is received, a white RX indication appears to the right of the active COM frequency to indi-cate that a COM signal reception is in progress. The RX indication disappears once COM signal reception is over.Figure 2-6 Radio Status IndicationsNOTE: If a signal is transmitted or received on a COM radio for which frequency toggling is enabled (i.e., on which the tuning box is located), the Frequency Toggle Arrow disappears and is replaced by a TX or an RX indication, respec-tively.2.9 EMERGENCY FREQUENCY (121.500 MHZ)If data for the selected COM frequency is not received for a duration of one second, a communication failure is assumed by the system and the selected frequency is auto-matically changed to the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz).Figure 2-7 Communication FailureNOTE: In the event of a dual CDU failure, the emergency frequency (121.500 MHz) automati-cally becomes available to the pilot through the pilot headset.Quickly Tuning and Activating 121.500 MHzPressing and holding the COM Frequency Toggle key for approximately two (2) seconds automatically loads the emergency COM frequency (121.500 MHz) in the active frequency ﬁ eld of the COM radio for which frequency toggling is enabled.Figure 2-8 Quickly Tuning 121.500 MHz2.10 STUCK MICROPHONE If the COM1 (or COM2) Remote Transfer key be-comes stuck, an alert appears on the PFD to advise the crew of a stuck COM microphone.

Turning the VOL/PUSH ID knob clockwise increases volume level, while turning this knob counter-clockwise decreases volume level.3.3 MORSE CODE IDENTIFIERPressing the VOL/PUSH ID knob toggles the Morse code identiﬁ er ﬁ lter ON and OFF for the active NAV fre-quency next to which the tuning box is located. When the Morse code identiﬁ er ﬁ lter is ON, an ID indication appears to the left of the corresponding active NAV fre-quency.Figure 3-1 ID IndicationThe Morse code identiﬁ er ﬁ lter is ON for the GHM VOR.The Morse code identiﬁ er for an active NAV frequency can only be heard if the Morse code identiﬁ er ﬁ lter for the corresponding NAV radio is turned on (i.e., if the ID indication appears next to the active NAV frequency) and if the corresponding NAV radio is selected on the GMA 1347 audio panel (i.e., the associated NAV radio annun-ciator lights are illuminated).Here, since NAV2 is the only NAV radio selected on the audio panel, only the Morse code identiﬁ er for the GHM VOR can be heard.NAV portion of the GMA 1347 audio panelFigure 3-2 Morse Code Identiﬁ er AudioG1000_COM-NAV_PG.indd 9 2/10/2004, 8:47:53 AM

The PFD allows for the auto-tuning of COM frequencies associated with the nearest airports, while the MFD provides auto-tuning of both COM and NAV frequencies from various pages. In addition, regardless of the display, the pertinent primary NAV frequency is entered systematically in the NAV window upon approach loading or activation.In brief, frequencies can be automatically loaded in their respective frequency windows in the following ways:• By using the ENT key when the frequency is highlighted on the appropriate page ( PFD and MFD).• By using the LD NAV1 and LD NAV2 softkeys when on the appropriate page ( MFD only).• Upon loading or activating an approach ( PFD and MFD).NOTE: Turn the FMS knob to scroll through a list of frequencies.Turn the FMS knob to scroll through a list of frequencies.Press ENT to load a highlighted frequency in the associated frequency window.Figure 4-1 Loading Frequencies4.2 AUTO-TUNING ON THE PFDCOM frequencies for the nearest airports may be viewed and automatically loaded from the Nearest Airport window on the PFD.To auto-tune a COM frequency for a nearby airport:1. Press the NRST softkey to open the Nearest Airports window, which displays the list of airport identiﬁ ers and corresponding COM frequencies.2. Turn either FMS knob to highlight the desired COM frequency, and ensure that the COM frequency tuning box is on the desired COM sub-window.3. Press the ENT key to load the COM frequency in the COM tuning box.NOTE: When the desired frequency is entered in the tuning box, it becomes a standby frequency.
