CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY TO ANODYNE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING CORP.
When the red mode switch is set to NORMAL (AA95 and AA97’s only), the passengers will hear the radio
audio as selected on the controller. The passengers will not hear any radio audio when the red mode
switch is in the ISO/EMR position.
3.3.2 Transmit Selector Switch
Figure 3: Transmit Select Switch
The transmit selector switch is a six position switch used to select the desired transceiver. For the AA95
and AA96, this switch typically selects the PA function when rotated fully clockwise. When the hand mic
or transmit PTT switch is activated, the mic will be coupled to the radio (or PA) selected. The pilot has
priority over the copilot during transmit operations.
Receive audio for the transceiver selected is automatically activated as a function of the rotary selector
switch and no additional switching is needed to establish outside communication. During transmit, all
audio selected is muted except the sidetone of the transceiver in use. In the AA95 and AA97’s, Direct
Audio 2 also remains un-muted during transmit.
The front panel TX indicator will illuminate green when either the pilot or co-pilot transmits. It will not light
when the hand mic (if installed) is used.
3.3.3 ICS Functions
Intercom audio may be implemented in three modes: LIVE (on constantly), VOX (voice activated), or
KEYED (active only when switched by ICS PTT switch). It is common to use the LIVE mode during
ground operations, start-up, etc. and to use VOX or KEYED operation if conditions are so noisy that ‘pilot
fatigue’ will result.
