FREQUENCY SPACING

The G1000 COM radios can tune either 25 kHz spac­ing (118.000 to 136.975 MHz) or 8.33 kHz spacing
(118.000 to 136.990 MHz) frequencies.

COM channel spacing is configured through the MFD
on the System Setup Page of the AUX Page group.

VOLUME

COM radio volume level can be adjusted from 0 to
100% in increments of 3.25%, using the VOL/PUSH SQ
knob located above the COM Frequency Transfer key.
Turning the VOL/PUSH SQ knob clockwise increases
volume, turning the knob counterclockwise decreases
volume.

When adjusting volume level for a COM radio, volume
level is displayed in place of the standby COM frequency.
The COM1 or COM2 annunciator is replaced by the word
VOLUME. Volume level remains in the COM Frequency
window for two seconds after the change.

AUTOMATIC SQUELCH

Automatic squelch provides maximum sensitivity to
weaker signals while canceling most localized noise sourc­es. Automatic squelch can be disabled for a COM radio
by pressing the COM knob to select the desired COM
sub-window, then by pressing the VOL/PUSH SQ knob.

When automatic squelch is disabled,
mains continuously open and an RX indication appears
while continuous noise is heard over the speaker and
phones.

EMERGENCY FREQUENCY (121.500 MHZ)

In case of a COM system tuning failure, the emergency
frequency (121.500 MHz) is automatically loaded in the
active frequency field of the radio in which the tuning fail­ure was detected.

Quick-Tuning and Activating 121.500 MHz

Pressing and holding the COM Frequency Transfer
key for two seconds automatically loads the emergency
COM frequency (121.500 MHz) in the active field of the
active COM radio (the one with the transfer arrow).

STUCK MICROPHONE

If the COM1 or COM2 push-to-talk (PTT) switch be­comes stuck, the COM transmitter times out after 35 sec­onds of continuous transmitting. An alert appears on the
PFD to advise the crew of a stuck microphone.

FREQUENCY RANGE

The G1000 NAV radios receive in the VOR/ILS fre­quency range of 108.00 to 117.95 MHz with 50 kHz
spacing. The Nav Frequency window displays the follow­ing information:

• NAV1 and NAV2 active and standby frequencies

• NAV1 and NAV2 identifier indication (if the Morse

code identifier is received by the system).

• Color-coded indication of the selected NAV radio

• Morse code identifier status

VOLUME

NAV radio volume level can be adjusted from 0 to
100% in increments of 3.25%, using the VOL/PUSH ID
knob. Turning the VOL/PUSH ID knob clockwise in­creases volume, turning the knob counterclockwise de­creases volume. When adjusting the volume for a NAV
radio, volume level is displayed in place of the standby
NAV frequency. Volume level remains in the NAV Fre­quency window for two seconds after the change.

MORSE CODE IDENTIFIER

Pressing the VOL/PUSH ID knob toggles the Morse
code identifier ON and OFF. When the Morse code iden­tifier is ON, a white ID indication appears to the left of the
active NAV frequency. When the Morse code identifier is
OFF, the ID indication disappears and the Morse code is
filtered out of the NAV audio.

The Morse code identifier is ON for the

SELECTING A NAV RADIO

The desired NAV radio is selected using the CDI soft­key located on the PFD. The three navigation modes that
can be selected are:

• VOR1 (or LOC1) – If NAV1 is selected, a single
green arrow (shown) labeled either ‘VOR1’ or
‘LOC1’ is displayed on the HSI and the active NAV1
frequency is displayed in green.

OPERATION – NAV

• VOR2 (or LOC2) – If NAV2 is selected, a double
green arrow (not shown) labeled either ‘VOR2’ or

‘LOC2’ is displayed on the HSI and the active NAV2
frequency is displayed in green.

• GPS – If GPS mode is selected, a single magenta
arrow (not shown) appears on the HSI and neither
NAV radio is selected.

NOTE: In GPS mode, both active NAV frequencies
are displayed in white.

4.4 FREQUENCY AUTO-TUNING

The G1000 system offers multiple auto-tuning capa­bilities. The PFD allows auto-tuning of COM frequencies
associated with the nearest airports. The MFD provides
auto-tuning of both COM and NAV frequencies from way­point and nearest pages. In addition, the primary NAV
frequency is entered automatically in the NAV window
during yapproach loading or approach activation.

Frequencies can be automatically loaded into the fre
quency windows in the following ways:

• By using the

ENT key when the frequency is high-

lighted on the appropriate page (PFD and MFD).

• When loading or activating an approach (PFD and
MFD).

NOTE: Turn the FMS knob to scroll through a
list of frequencies.
