The two concentric knobs and
functions of the KLX 135A. The right inner knob can be pulled out, but for now it
should be pushed in.
When the cursor is off
, the right outer knob changes the page type (APT to VOR to
NDB, etc.) and the right inner knob changes the page number (APT 1 to APT 2).
When the cursor is on
, the right outer knob moves the cursor and the right inner knob
changes the data under the cursor.
To change a cyclic field:
1. Turn on the cursor (by pressing the
ton) and place it over a cyclic field, which is
always preceded by a carat (>).
2. Press the
button to change the cyclic

field. One example is the NAV 1 page, which
can display a D-bar (Figure 1) or numerical

4. Alternatively, display desired waypoint on APT, VOR, NDB or SUP page, or move
the cursor over desired waypoint in the active flight plan, then press
press F to confirm.
To create a Flight Plan:
1. Select the active Flight Plan (FPL 0) or one of the stored Flight Plans (FPL 1
through FPL 9) on the screen.
2. Delete existing waypoints from the Flight Plan as necessary by placing the cursor

To calculate the winds aloft:
1. Use the CAL 3 page to calculate the present pressure altitude.
2. Use the CAL 5 page to calculate the present true airspeed (TAS).
3. Turn to the CAL 6 page and enter the present aircraft heading. The headwind or
tailwind component of the wind, and the wind vector (direction and speed) will be
displayed on the last two lines of the CAL 6 page.

The two concentric knobs and A (transfer)

functions of the KLX 135A.
A small “R” appears over the decimal point of the
active frequency when the squelch is broken and
the radio is receiving (Figure4). When the transmitter is keyed a small “T” appears in this same spot.

1. Use the left outer knob to select the desired number of megahertz
between 118 and 136.
2. Make sure the left inner knob is pushed in, and use it to complete the
desired frequency. In this case, the left inner knob changes the frequency
in increments of 0.05 MHz (50 kHz).
To tune a 25 kHz frequency:
1. Pull the left inner knob out.
2. Use the left knobs to tune the frequency. Notice that the KLX 135A only
displays two digits after the decimal point, so the last digit is implied. For
example, if the frequency is 123.125 MHz, the KLX 135A displays 123.12.
3. When you’re ready to go back to 50 kHz tuning, push the left inner knob
back in. This will allow you to select frequencies with fewer turns of the
knob.
To use the standby frequency entry (flip-flop) mode:
Note: This is the default frequency entry mode.
1. Use the left knobs to tune the standby COMM frequency.
2. To exchange (flip-flop) the active and standby frequencies,
press the A button.
To use the active frequency entry mode:
1. Press and hold the
button for approxi-
A
mately 2 seconds. The standby frequency
will disappear and the active frequency will
be the same as before you pressed the
button (Figure 5).
