When switching from COM 1 to COM 2, while COM 2 audio had been selected, Com 1 audio will continue to be heard. This eliminates the pilot having to switch Com 1 audio back on, if desired.
When switching from COM 1 to COM 2 while Com 2 has NOT been selected, Com 1 audio will be switched off. In essence, switching the mic selector will not effect the selection of Com receiver audio.
When the duplex, or TELEPHONE mode is implemented, Com 3 becomes the “TEL” position. This is the pilot’s “hook” switch, when the system is interfaced to an appropriate approved wireless telecommunication system, such as the Air- Cell system. Placing the mic selector in Com 3 places the pilot microphone and headphones on the cellphone. The pilot PTT will switch the pilot mic to the other selected com transceiver, and allow continued aircraft communications as well. The copilot will also be able to transmit with his PTT as well.

1.3.1Swap Mode (Switch from Com 1 to Com 2 remotely)
With a yoke mounted, momentary switch, the pilot can change from the current Com transceiver (Com 1 or 2) to the other by depressing this switch. To cancel "Swap Mode," the pilot may either press the yoke mounted switch again, or select a different Com with the XMT buttons.
