GMA 350 Audio Panel

MARKER BEACON RECEIVER

The marker beacon receiver detects any marker beacon signal within the reception range of the aircraft.

When a marker beacon signal is detected, the lamps illuminate, and an associated keyed-tone is heard when MKR audio is selected. Marker beacon lamps operate independently of any audio selection and cannot be turned off.

Marker Beacon Key & Lamps

The marker beacon signal sensitivity threshold can be set to High, Low, or User Selectable (toggle switch required).

The receiver detects the three marker tones (outer, middle, and inner).

The GMA 350 provides three states of marker beacon operation; On, Muted, and Deselected. The MKR/MUTE key annunciator indicates when marker beacon audio is selected. Marker beacon audio is not heard when the annunciator is off or when the annunciator is on with the marker beacon audio muted.
