The Garmin audio panel allows the two pilots to each talk on a
separate radio, on different freq's, at the same time.




That's not what it says he



It has it. Look at the picture. The comm 1/2 button is what you push.
When that is lit up the pilot is connected to comm 1 and his PTT
transmits on comm1. The copilot is then connected to comm 2 and
transmits on comm 2, all this regardless of how you had the comms setup
prior to pushing the button. Another feature of the audio panel,
although I'll never use it, is that when you press the spkr button and
then press the PTT switch you don't transmit on the radio at all but
over the planes radio speaker so the rest of the passengers can hear you.
