Okay, so I finally figured out how to turn the XM radio off without
killing all audio output from the 496. (It's not as easy as it should
be...)

This has enabled us to finally hear the little "Southwest Airlines"
chime, followed by bitchin' Betty purring "Altitude...500 feet..."
through our headphones.

Call me silly, and I honestly can't think of a real use for this
feature (since I fly VFR) -- but it's still WAY up there in the cool
factor levels. Feels like we're flying the heavy iron, now!
