Description:
This gauge is an interface for the FS2002 radio gauges with built-in
marker beacon. It toggles the sounds of the navaids ident Morse code on and off
and corresponds with the installed radios in the panel. It also toggles between
COM1 and COM2 radio.
This gauge has functional buttons like the real instrument. Some of them are
fake buttons with no effect in the FS.
The buttons, switches and knobs:
See the picture ExplKMA26.bmp which gives an overview of the functions.
The power knob on the left side switches the audio panel on and off.
You can have the power switch always set on and use a central avionic circuit
switch in your main panel to set the power of ALL radios in this package.
The marker beacon toggle switch on the upper left side has three positions:
LO SENS (by default), TEST and HI SENS. While LO SENS and HI SENS have no effect
in FS, the TEST position provides both a lamp test and aural marker beacon
signal test.
The microphone selector knob on the right side allows to transmit either on COM1
or COM2. The other selector positions have no effect in FS.
The COM1 and COM2 buttons toggle the COM1 and COM2 radios. Having COM1 and COM2
active at the same time is not possible.
The NAV1 and NAV2 buttons switch the sound of the NAV1/NAV2 Morse ident codes on
or off, if the frequency entered in the NAV1/NAV2 radio provides such a signal.
The MKR button is the same, however for an ILS marker beacon.
The ADF button is the same, however for a NDB (ADF) station.
The DME button is the same, however for a DME station.
The COM3, AUX and MONI buttons are fake buttons with no effects in the FS,
nevertheless they are animated and lighted if you push them.
