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

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

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.

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.

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"

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.

That's not what it says he
http://www.garmin.com/products/gma347/

The GMA 347 audio panel builds upon the successful attributes of
the GMA 340 while adding benefits such as automatic squelch,
digital clearance recorder, and a full-duplex telephone interface.

The GMA 347's automatic squelch option makes the entire audio
experience quieter and clearer. Since there are some occasions
when pilots wouldn’t want an automatic squelch—such as high-noise
environments—the GMA 347 also retains the manual squelch
adjustment feature. Garmin has also added three more unmuted,
unswitched inputs with individual volume control.

The GMA 347’s automatic digital clearance recorder helps pilots
manage the demands of a busy cockpit. The unit continuously
captures the last two and one half minutes of audio switched
through the panel. If a pilot misses a frequency change or
clearance, he or she can replay the necessary information by
simply pressing the “play” button.

In addition, the GMA 347 has a full-duplex telephone interface
with intercom isolation and disable capability. This feature
allows private telephone calls by the pilot or copilot, or
multi-party calls with crew and/or passengers.

Pilots will also appreciate the integration of the G1000’s
“configuration module” into the GMA 347. If the audio panel is
ever removed, all of the pilot’s preferred settings are
automatically loaded into the unit.

Nobody ever said anything about "talking" on different frequencies. There
are a few dozen spurious responses on the best designed receiver that will
take your ears off when the other person transmits on the other transceiver.
It takes one hell of a lot of engineering to keep #1 transmitter from
blowing the socks off of the #2 receiver.

The Garmin audio panel allows two seperate conversations to take place
at the same time and if you weren't sitting right next to him you
wouldn't know he was talking on the other radio. I will have to tune in
the ATIS on one radio and see if by transmitting on the other if that
mutes the ATIS in my headset.
