Returning to Frequency mode will not change the Active or Standby frequencies from what they were prior to entering Program mode. Military Operation Channel Mode The Channel Mode operates the same as in civil operation except the Channel Mode does not time out and return to the Frequency Mode.

Any Channel with dashes entered will be unprogrammed. An unprogrammed Channel will display dashes in the Standby window when recalled, in which case the receiver will be tuned to the last valid Active frequency. Pressing the CHAN button will return the unit to the mode in use prior to entering the Program mode.

A typical installation may have the TACAN tuning source designated as the NAV 1 control head whereby the pilot associates this tuning source with the number one navigational display system. Pilot selection of NAV 2 to tune the TACAN will now remove the TACAN derived steering information from the number one NAV display.

An optional feature allows the use of dual KXP 756 Transponders individually selected by one KFS 576/576A Control Unit. The KFS 576A is equipped with a King Radio 429 serial data bus and can be integrated into a frequency management system. The KFS 576A may also be used in the tandem mode (two units controlling one R/T with each control unit displaying the same readout).

When LSB, USB or AM is selected, the radio is set to the corresponding mode, and the control head displays a directly selectable frequency on one of nineteen user programable channels.
STO Programming The STO button performs three functions. First, when in the channel mode and not in program mode (program mode is annunciated by a flashing dash in the space adjacent to the channel number), pressing STO causes the head to display the letters “TX” and the transmit frequency, while the receiver monitors the transmit frequency. This allows the user to listen for signals on the transmit frequency of a duplex channel.
ı USB FREQ KHZ MODE HF FREQ CHAN CHANNEL PULL ON CLARIFIER SQUELCH OFF VOLUME STO PGM KCU 951 Control Functions KCU 951 The operating controls of the KCU 951 are described as follows: Mode The emission mode switch is a momentary pushbutton that selects LSB, AME, USB or optional A3A. Emissions mode selection is cyclic moving from left to right. This switch is active at all times except transmit. A3A is indicated by displaying the AM and USB messages simultaneously.
Channel/Frequency Select This selector consists of two concentric knobs that controls the channel and frequency digits, plus the lateral position of the cursor. These switches function as Frequency Control switches. System Power Up When power is first applied (OFF/ON VOL CONTROL), the frequency display is blanked and transmit is inhibited until the crystal oven is heated up and synthesizer is locked. If the FREQ/CHAN button is in the depressed position, the active channel will be displayed.
In normal operation, the frequency, emission mode and TX message when transmitting is displayed. No channel number is displayed. When the system is transferred from channelized operation to direct frequency control, the initial frequency displayed is the last frequency used for transmit purposes when operating in the direct frequency mode. Previous emission mode is also saved and displayed. The coupler is bypassed under the above conditions. Auto tune sequence is initiated with the mic key.
The above procedure stores the displayed frequency, stores the displayed receive frequency and sets the receive only bit. The “TX” message will flash after the STO actuation to indicate that the transmit frequency will be stored on the next STO actuation. Setting a simplex channel would require the following steps: Program Operation The program mode is accessed by depressing the PGM switch. The program mode must be entered while in the channel configuration (only channels can be programmed).
Marker Beacon KA 35 When Used With the KMR 675 marker the pilot hears a medium pitched tone in a series of dots and dashes and the amber light flashes synchronously with the tones. The inner marker is located close to the end of the runway. The beacon transmitter and antenna project a vertical cone shaped pattern of radio frequency energy. The radio frequency output of the transmitter is modulated with an audio tone of 3000Hz.
fade faster on low sensitivity. The marker audio may now be turned off to obtain the exact time of center passage from the light only, since the imminence of station passage has already been indicated. This suggestion is especially appropriate if the pilot is involved in radio communication with approach control or tower at that moment.
