"Somebody check your mike on the radio, please..."

These are the same people who, when they receive a superfluous email
(like "remove me") from a mailing list, send a response to the entire
list asking "Why did I receive this?". :-)

Or ask for winds and active when there are 6 people in the pattern all
announcing for the same runway.

Excuse me, I design audio panels for a living and have done so for almost 40
years. DOn't tell me it has nothing to do with the audio panel. It has
EVERYTHING to do with the audio panel.

And if the stack has an audio panel worthy of the name, the opposite

operating.


You sure? I've operated split (on different frequencies), and not been
cut off when the other pilot was transmitting. Does the audio panel
know what frequencies each radio is using?


And I have the newest Garmin audio panel. The pilot and copliot can
each talk on different frequencies at the same time.

interconnect" wire between radios. It doesn't always get installed. I
had to have one retrofitted after completion of my Garmin 430---King
KX-165A installation.


With such an installation, wouldn't each pilot be frustrated while the
other pilot is transmitting, defeating much of the purpose of the split?

No, it works just fine. You can hear a little garbling if you are
talking on close frequencies like 122.75 and 122.8 The Garmin audio
panel does not shut down the receiver of the radio not being transmitted on.

We call that *intercom*...

If you have radios on different frequencies and are able to talk to each
other through them, you need new radios because those old ones have
really poor filtering/alignment...

He did not say the pilot and co-pilot could talk to each other on different
frequencies. What he meant is the pilot could be talking to Tower while the
co-pilot could be talking to Unicom (or some other combination

"can each talk" is different from "talk to each other"

I would never try to tell you anything, Jim. I'd just throw it out in a
trough and listen to you come squealing.

That's not what I said or meant to say. The Garmin audio panel allows
the two pilots to each talk on a separate radio, on different freq's, at
the same time.
