O.K. so it sounds like I had the right idea about how to turn it off, I just
didn't go far enough with it. I was switching frequencies on the stack radio
NAV, but I didn't try to change the GPS NAV, I think I might have gotten rid
of it there. I couldn't find a mute button anywhere next to the lights.

I can't figure out what this beeping thing was that I encountered the

day while flying a 172 from our club. I'm a fresh private and I took my

runway 14 This beeping thing came on. I think it's a DME. I've seen one
in
use before, but I couldn't figure it out and it scared my mother half to
death, (She thought it was a sound that meant the engine was about to
die).
How do I turn it off? This plane is equipped with the standard NAV/COM,
it
has an ADF and Garmin GPS with moving map. I tried Flipping all kinds of
switches to turn it off and I couldn't figure it out. I knew it was a
marker
of sorts, so I knew it would go away, I just hoped it would go away fast
to
ease everyone anxiety. Any tips on how to turn it off?

Hey Slick,

Person before you probably was doing an ILS approach into your airport and
had NAV1 set up for the ILS for runway 32. As you climbed out, you passed
over the marker beacons that are designed for ILS approaches for runway
32.

Just turn the NAV1 frequency to another frequency, and that would have
turned the marker beacon off.
