Listers,
I'm installing an XCOM760 and want to know a few things.
1) Can I just leave the intercom in the "always on" configuration
by tying the ON (pin 5) to ground??
|
You can but you won't want to.

If so, can I then disable it by using the F/CH knob???

That I don't know.
One of the things I have learned is that military aircraft put the
PTT button on the throttle, not the stick. I have decided I *really*
like that location. The CJ6A has two buttons, one for PTT, and one
for ICS. I just have to move my thumb on the throttle to decide which
to use. You might want to do something similar and use a button to
key your ICS.

2) Also, if I omit the switch in the backlight lead (pin  will
the light go out when I turn the radio off??
In other words, backlight always on but only IF the radio is on???
Same last question for Becker XPDR.

Do you care? When are you going to fly your airplane with the comm
and xpdr turned off? For those few times when you are in the airplane
with the master on and the comm and xpdr off will you really care if
the backlight is turned on?
Remember, simplicity is a virtue.
