2.4.1.5 Maintenance 5 (MNT 5) Page
The MNT 5 page is used to configure the Quicktune* outputs of the KLN 94. The COMM frequencies stored in the KLN 94 may be sent to up to 4 COMMs that recognize the Quicktune* labels transmitted over the RS232 bus. The Bendix/King KX155A and KX165A are examples of such a radio.
Similarly, the NAV frequencies stored in the KLN 94 may be sent to up to 4 NAV radios. If a Quicktune* compatible COMM or NAV is assigned in the KLN94 MNT 5 page (i.e. COMM-2, and NAV-1), then the specific COMMs and NAVs must be configured themselves with the same identifier. For the specific procedure on how to assign an identifier to a KX155A, refer to section 3.1.4.3 of the KX155A Installation Manual.
If a radio number is assigned in the KLN94, a similar operation must be performed in the radio. In other words, if COMM-2 is assigned in the KLN94 as being a valid output, the KX155A (or other Quicktune*-valid receiver) must be configured to accept Quicktune* frequencies and identified as “COMM2”.
If an installation allows more than one Quicktune* radio (i.e. two or more KX155A), it is not necessarily recommended that both radios should be configured for Quicktune* operation, but rather consult with the owner and ask for the owner’s recommendation. If only one valid Quicktune* COMM radio is chosen in the MNT 5 page, when the user sets the CRSR over a COMM frequency and presses ENT, the frequency will automatically be placed in the STANDBY slot of the radio. On the other hand, if two or more valid Quicktune* COMMs are chosen in the MNT 5 page, after pressing ENT on a COMM frequency, the user will be asked to which radio that frequency should be sent. While it increases flexibility, this could be considered a nuisance.
When the installation is complete, the user will be able to choose the default Quicktune* radios for both COMM and NAV on the SET 14 page. Consult the KLN94 Pilot’s Guide for additional information.
