The so-called "split" function exists on the KMA28, made by PS
Engineering, as well as of course the PS Engineering branded audio
panels with built-in intercoms.

I've a KMA28, and on a few occasions I've been talking to ATC on the
pilot side, while a friend would be calling an FBO on their ARINC
frequency to arrange for a car, or whatever.


I find it interesting that the PS Engineering KMA28 documentation
fails to mention this 'split function':

I had no idea this topic was of so much interest to you.

Here you go:

"The split mode, pioneered by PS Engineering, is still available, but
now uses an intuitive push button selection. To make operation simpler,
Com 1 priority is provided to the pilot, in split mode, with copilot
selection of Com 2 or 3."

Enjoy.
