The installation of
Cessna
radio
equipment
provides
certain
audio
back-up capabilities and
transmitter
selector
switch functions
that
the
pilot should be
familiar
with. When the
transmitter
selector
switch
is
placed in position 1
or
2,
the audio
amplifier
of the
corresponding
trans-
ceiver is utilized to provide the
speaker
audio
for
all
radios.
If
the audio
amplifier
in
the
selected
transceiver
fails,
as
evidenced by
loss
of
speaker
audio for
all
radios,
place the
transmitter
selector
switch
in the other
transceiver
position. Since an audio
amplifier
is
not
utilized
for
head-
phones, a malfunctioning amplifier will not affect headphone operation.
