KMA 26 KMA 26 Audio Amplifier/Intercom/Marker Beacon Receiver KMA 26 Operation KMA 26 Control Function Transmitter and Automatic Receiver Selection The Microphone Selector Switch is a rotary switch used to select the desired transmitter for the cockpit microphones. The “C1”, “C2”, and “C3” positions are for transmitting on the Com 1, Com 2, and Com 3 communications transceivers, respectively.
Silver Crown Plus Pilot’s Guide been selected. To add speaker audio simply push the Speaker Select Switch (inner right knob) to the “in” position. Pulling the switch to the “out” position removes speaker audio. Additional Receiver Selection In addition to the receiver selected by the “Auto Com” feature described above, other receivers may be selected by pushing the corresponding Audio Select Buttons.
KMA 26 position the high sensitivity is selected which permits you to hear the outer marker tone about a mile from the marker beacon transmitter. At this point you may select the “LO SENS” (middle) position to temporarily silence the tone. It will start to sound again when you are closer to the marker, giving you a more precise indication of its location. Many pilots choose to leave the switch in the low sensitivity position.
Silver Crown Plus Pilot’s Guide In the “PILOT” mode the pilot hears the radios but is isolated from the intercom while the copilot and passengers are on the same intercom loop and do not hear the radios. When either the “ALL” and “CREW” intercom modes are selected, the pilot’s and copilot’s intercom volume is controlled by rotating the Crew Intercom Volume Knob (left inner knob) while the passenger’s volume is controlled by rotating the Passenger Intercom Volume Knob (left outer knob).
KMA 28 KMA 28 Audio Amplifier/Intercom/Marker Beacon Receiver KMA 28 Operation KMA 28 Control Function Receive Audio Selectors Receiver audio is selected through two momentary and six latched, pushbutton, backlit switches. Com 1 and Com 2 are the momentary switches. Because the rotary microphone selector switch controls what transceiver is being heard, the Com l and Com 2 push-buttons are of the momentary type and do not remain in when selected. This is also part of the "auto" function.
Silver Crown Plus Pilot’s Guide Power Switch /Emergency (EMG) Operation Unit power is turned on and off by pushing the volume knob. In the off or "Emergency" position, the pilot is connected directly to Com 1. This allows communication capability regardless of unit condition. Any time power is removed or turned off, the audio selector will be placed in the emergency mode. The power switch also controls the audio selector panel functions, intercom, and marker beacon receiver.
KMA 28 may want to talk to Air Traffic Control, while the copilot may be speaking to Flight Watch. Although this mode has limitations (see below) we believe you will find this to be a useful feature. Switching to Com 2/Com l will reverse the "Split Mode" radio selection. The pilot will be on Com 2 and the copilot will be on Com 1.

Telephone (TEL) (10) operation of cellular telephones. “Cellular telephones installed in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or any other type of aircraft must not be operated while such aircraft are airborne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the ground, all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off.
Silver Crown Plus Pilot’s Guide connector, the front panel jack automatically becomes a Priority Advisory input, and is heard in the crew headphones, and this input will NOT be muted by radio or intercom., if the Music 1 audio is actively playing. Music Input When used as a music input, the front panel jack (and Bluetooth) music are treated as Music #1. Using the Music function button, it can be distributed to all users, depending on the intercom mode.
KMA 30 “MONITOR” Function This function turns the MONITOR Function on and off. When the Monitor is on, the audio from the COM that is selected for reception only (only top LED illuminated) will be muted when the radio that is selected to transmit becomes active. This function is useful if you are copying weather from AWOS on COM 2, but have clearance delivery tuned in on COM 1. With the monitor active, the AWOS audio will be silenced when clearance delivery starts to speak.

Push the VOL knob back in to actuate the automatic squelch. The left portion of the digital display readout is allocated for COMM ACTIVE and COMM STANDBY frequencies with a “T” between them to indicate TRANSMIT and an “R” to indicate RECEIVE modes of operation.
KX 155A/KX 165A FIGURE 4 Frequency entered in active entry mode The transceiver is always tuned to the frequency appearing in the ACTIVE display. It is therefore possible to have two different frequencies stored in the ACTIVE and STANDBY displays and to change back and forth between them at the simple push of the transfer button. During the transmit mode of operation, a “T” will appear between the ACTIVE and STANDBY displays.
Silver Crown Plus Pilot’s Guide Additional channels may be programmed by pressing the COMM TRANSFER button and using the same procedure. To exit the program mode and save the channel information, momentarily push the CHAN button. This will cause the unit to return to the previous frequency entry mode. The unit will also exit the channel program mode if there is no button or knob activity for 20 seconds.The channel selection mode can then be entered by momentarily pushing the CHAN button (Figure 9).
KX 155A/KX 165A The right portion of the display is allocated to NAV receiver information. The frequency channeling is similar to the COMM when operating in the frequency mode (Figure 1A and 1B). The NAV increment/decrement knobs are located on the right hand side of the front panel. The outer knob operates in 1 MHz steps and increments/decrements the STANDBY frequency display. The inner knob operates in 50 kHz steps. The NAV receiver’s lower and upper frequency limits are 108.00 MHz and 117.95 MHz.
Silver Crown Plus Pilot’s Guide When the received signal is too weak to ensure accuracy the display will “flag”. See Figure 13. Another push of the mode button will cause the NAV display to go from the ACTIVE/BEARING format to the ACTIVE/RADIAL format as shown in Figure 16. FIGURE 13 VOR flag display Depressing the mode button will cause the NAV display to go from the ACTIVE/CDI format to the ACTIVE/BEARING format.
KX 155A/KX 165A Another push of the mode button will cause the unit to go into the TIMER mode. See Figure 18.

KT 76C KT 76C Bendix/King Panel-Mounted Transponder KT 76C OPERATION About Transponders Your Honeywell Bendix/King transponder is a radio transmitter and receiver which operates on radar frequencies. Receiving ground radar interrogations at 1030 MHz, it returns a coded response of pulses to groundbased radar on a frequency of 1090 MHz. As with other Mode A/Mode C transponders, the KT 76C replies with any one of 4,096 codes, which differ in the position and number of pulses transmitted.
Silver Crown Plus Pilot’s Guide “pressure altitude,” and should not be confused with true altitude. Please note that the displayed altitude may not agree exactly with the aircraft’s altimeter when flying below 18,000 feet, because encoders are preset to 29.92 inches of mercury. An encoder’s altitude transmission is automatically corrected for proper altimeter setting by a ground based computer, to present the correct altitude to the controller.
