![]() wrote in message oups.com... Allen, I'm just now learning about all this IFR stuff so I could be wrong here. I'm under the impression that the markers are on "fixed" frequencies not associatied with the NAVs. I will look into this more... a. Yup, they are low powered (3W) with a directional output (up). You fly over it, and the marker beacon receives it. |

Alan, all marker beacons transmit on 75Mhz. No way you are going to turn one
off by changing ILS freq. I think the audio panel suggestions are closer to the solution. Bob Gardner "A Lieberman" wrote in message ...

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. Allen |

Hey Bob, Thanks for straightening me up! I would have never known. I am just surprised that my marker beacon never went off when I practiced landings in my VFR lessons over at JAN (Jackson MS). Here I thought I was "programming" the marker beacon with a "NAV1 interface". Guess I took a simple thing and made it complex.... Allen |

In addition to operating on a single frequency, the antenna radiation
patterns are quite small...with the sensitivity switch in the Low position, you pretty much have to fly right over the antenna to get the sound and light. But that is what they are for, after all...indicators of exact position. Bob "A Lieberman" wrote in message ...

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. "A Lieberman" wrote in message ...

![]() A Lieberman wrote: Just turn the NAV1 frequency to another frequency, and that would have turned the marker beacon off. Allen The marker beacon is an independent radio reciever that is not connected to the nav radio whatsoever. It may or may not be integrated with the audio panel, but there usually is a mute or speaker switch associated with it. Changing the nav radio should have no effect on the marker beacon reciever, since the same marker beacon reciever frequency is used across the entire country (and world, if I remember right) Dave |

It might be worth your time to go to:
www.garmin.com www.bendixking.com Check out their Audio Panels. Both sites have downloadable POH's for their units that would help you know what's going on the next time you confront the problem.

Maybe she wasn't scared by the beeps, but rather because she discovered that you were flying in a plane you even didn't know the switches. A very reasonable scare. Any tips on how to turn it off?
