SwltchNotes
1. If the aircraft hasabuilt-inpilotyoke switch, it is not necessaryto usethe pilot PTTjack onthe PC
2.
However,
it
isimportantthat the aircraft radioor audio panelmicrophonejack tip
be
wired so that
keyingthetransmitterwith the built-inyoke switchwill also groundthe jack tip. This signal isthen
sensedby the PC
2
(viathe Ytable microphone/PTTplug)to cause properoperationof the intercom
duringtransmission.
2. If the aircraft has abuilt-incopilot yoke switch, it should not
be
used. lf copilot PTTcapability is
desired,use a portable PTT switchpluggedintothe copilot PTT switchjack onthe PC 2.
3. If poltable
PTT
switches are used,
do
not plugmicrophonesintothem, as the PTTswitches willhave
to
be
pressedtotalkoverthe intercom. Plugmicrophonesintothe PC 2 microphonejacks only.

AUTOMATIC SQUELCHOPERATION
The PC 2containsanautomatic squelchcircuitwhichmakesmost manual
squelch adjustments unnecessary. This circuituses a built-inmicrophone
to monitorthe noiselevelinthe aircraft. The microohoneis locatedonthe
top panelof the PC2 nexttothe pilotMICand
PHONE
jacks. For proper
operation, do notobstructthe microphone.
Inmost casesthe manualsquelch controlshouldbeleft inthe extreme
