2.8 RADIO STATUS
When a microphone is keyed, a white TX indication
appears between the active COM frequency and the
standby COM frequency to indicate that a transmission
is in progress. The TX indication disappears once COM
transmission is completed.
When a COM signal is received, a white RX indication
appears to the right of the active COM frequency to indi-
cate that a COM signal reception is in progress. The RX
indication disappears once COM signal reception is over.
Figure 2-6 Radio Status Indications
NOTE: If a signal is transmitted or received on
a COM radio for which frequency toggling is
enabled (i.e., on which the tuning box is located),
the Frequency Toggle Arrow disappears and
is replaced by a TX or an RX indication, respec-
tively.
2.9 EMERGENCY FREQUENCY
(121.500 MHZ)
If data for the selected COM frequency is not received
for a duration of one second, a communication failure is
assumed by the system and the selected frequency is auto-
matically changed to the emergency frequency (121.500
MHz).
Figure 2-7 Communication Failure

Window
3.1 OVERVIEW
The G1000 NAV radios operate in the aviation fre-
quency band of 108.00 to 117.95 MHz, with 50 kHz
channel spacing.
The Navigation Frequency window is located to the
left of the Navigation Status bar, provides the control and
display of dual VOR/ILS receivers (NAV1 and NAV2) and
displays the following information:
• NAV1 and NAV2 active and standby frequencies
• NAV1 or NAV2 identifier indication (if the active
NAV frequency is a valid frequency and its Morse
code identifier signal is received by the system).
• Color code indication of the selected NAV receiver
• Indication of the Morse code identifier filter status
3.2 VOLUME
Volume level for the NAV radios can be adjusted by
using the VOL/PUSH ID knob (top knob on the left
side of the display) located above the NAV Frequency
Toggle key. Turning the VOL/PUSH ID knob clockwise
increases volume level, while turning this knob counter-
clockwise decreases volume level.
3.3 MORSE CODE IDENTIFIER
Pressing the VOL/PUSH ID knob toggles the Morse
code identifier filter ON and OFF for the active NAV fre-
quency next to which the tuning box is located. When
the Morse code identifier filter is ON, an ID indication
appears to the left of the corresponding active NAV fre-
quency.
Figure 3-1 ID Indication
The Morse code identifier filter is ON for
the GHM VOR.
The Morse code identifier for an active NAV frequency
can only be heard if the Morse code identifier filter for
the corresponding NAV radio is turned on (i.e., if the ID
indication appears next to the active NAV frequency) and
if the corresponding NAV radio is selected on the GMA
1347 audio panel (i.e., the associated NAV radio annun-
ciator lights are illuminated).
Here, since NAV2 is the only
NAV radio selected on the
audio panel, only the Morse
code identifier for the GHM
VOR can be heard.
