I would recommend getting with the instructor in the club who checked
you out in and endorsed you to fly the 172. That club instructor should
be familiar with the radios and audio panels and be able to 1) address
the issue and 2) provide some instruction on the subject for you.
Getting someone to troubleshoot "beeping" over usenet is probably not
nearly as effective.
Of course, this recommendation is based on the assumption that you are
in a flying club that requires checkouts by club instructors (which has
been the case for me)

I can't figure out what this beeping thing was that I encountered the
other
day while flying a 172 from our club. I'm a fresh private and I took
my
parents to Mansfield airport for Sunday morning breakfast. When we
left on
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?
I would have thought that during your 40-50 hours of pilot training a
good instructor would have shot a few approaches during duel lessons
and you would have been aware of a outer marker passage.
