COM

NOTE: The tuning cursor normally appears in the COM Window, unless placed in the VLOC Window by pressing the small left knob. When the tuning cursor is in the VLOC Window, it automatically returns to the COM Window after 30 seconds of inactivity.

Selecting a COM frequency:

1)If the tuning cursor is not currently in the COM Window, press the small left knob momentarily (Figure 2-3).

Figure 2-3 Standby Frequency of 135.325

2)Turn the large left knob to select the desired megahertz (MHz) value. For example, the ‘135’ portion of the frequency ‘135.325’.

3)Turn the small left knob to select the desired kilohertz (kHz) value. For example, the ‘.325’ portion of the frequency ‘135.325’.

NOTE: The active frequency in either window cannot be accessed directly, only the standby frequency is highlighted by the tuning cursor.

4)To make the standby frequency the active frequency, press the COM Flip-flopKey (Figure 2-4).

Figure 2-4 Active Frequency of 135.325

The tuning cursor is normally in the COM Window. To select a VOR/Localizer/ILS frequency, press the small left knob momentarily to place the cursor in the VLOC Window. Additional instructions for VOR/localizer/ILS operations are available in Sections 6 and 9.
