6. RADIOSTACK PANEL - USER’S MANUAL SOLO GA
Device description
The order inwich the devices appear, if activated, is fixed: see diagram
on previous page.
6.1. AUDIO PANEL AND MARKERS
The user can select which audio channel to receive and transmit; it also
includes an approach radiobeacon (marker) lights.
"Active" buttons are shown smaller and darker, to simulate the fact that
they have been pressed. Speaker and Phone buttons are linked and
will always be de/activated together, regardless of wich is pressed first.
The picture shows some buttons pressed (ON) and some depressed
(OFF).
Definition of buttons:
3.
AP Master Switch

on annunciation panel (17) when ON.
4.
FD
: Flight Director switch ON or OFF (if installed). FD caption lit on
annunciation panel.
DUAL RECEPTION
It is permitted to activate both COM1 and COM2 audio, simultaneously.
NOTE: Not all the buttons work; inoperative buttons are: MKR Sens,
TEL and AUTO. MIC switch only works with COM1 or COM2.
6.2. AUTO-PILOT (AP) 'KFC 225 like'
Peixsoft GA Radio Stack Displays UDP for Virtual-Fly
This modified version shows, and allows modification of, values from
the simulator's autopilot. It also provides information about active and
armed modes.
NOTE:
The autopilot does nothing by itself; it merely sends to and re-
ceives from FS, the appropiate data, while FS handles the operation.
As a result, Radio Stack may exhibit limited functionally with certain
third-party addon aircraft depending on how complex the autopilot
systems are and how much they deviate from the generic FS systems.
Therefore, allthough the default aircraft and most addon GA aircraft
can be used successfully with the stack, more complex addon aircraft
may not work at all or demonstrate limited functionality.

TRANSMITTERS
The NAV1, NAV2, DME, MKR and ADF buttons are used to listen and
identificate the Morse code associated with the currently tuned station.
IMPORTANT:
To activate NAV1 or NAV2, it is mandatory that the
"Ident" knobs in respective COM/NAV radios are pulled, otherwise it
won't be activated. To make it easier, the Options screen allows for a
"Linked" option that will automatically press the corresponding but-
ton in the audio panel whenthe Ident knob on the radios are pulled.
OBLIGATORY SELECTION OF COM1 OR COM2
The transmitter channel (COM1 or COM2) is selected automatically as
the received audio channel be deactivated (it is a FS restriction).
