solid state, three phase inverters. The three phase
inverters are controlled by two three-position switches
placarded 3Ø AC CONTROL, #1 and #2 INV, RESET -
ON - OFF, located on the mission control panel (fig. 4-
1).

COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT GROUP
DESCRIPTION.
The communications equipment group consists of an
intercom system connected to individual audio control
panels for the pilot and copilot which interface with VHF,
UHF, BU VOW, VHF-FM, and HF transceivers, and
provide reception of audio from VOR, localizer, marker
beacon, TACAN/DME, and ADF receivers.

MICROPHONES, SWITCHES, AND JACKS.
Boom and oxygen mask microphones can be utilized
in the aircraft
a.
Control Wheel Microphone Switches. The pilot
and copilot are each provided with bi-level microphone
switches placarded MIC, INTPH - XM1T, located behind
the outboard handgrip of their respective control wheels
(fig. 2-22). When the control wheel microphone
switches are depressed to the first level (INTPH
position), voice audio signals from the respective
microphone are routed to the intercom system (the
position of the transmitter- intercom selector switch is
disregarded).
When the control wheel microphone switches are
depressed to the second level (XMIT position), voice
audio signals from the respective microphone are routed
to the transmitter selected by the transmitter-intercom
selector switch (located on the respective audio control
panel, fig. 3-1).
b.
Cockpit
Floor
Foot-Operated
Microphone
Switches. The pilot and copilot are each provided with a
foot-operated
microphone
switch,
placarded
MIC,
located on the cockpit floor, forward of their respective
seat positions.
Depressing the foot-operated microphone switches
routes audio signals to the device selected by the
transmitter-intercom selector switch located on the
respective audio control panel (fig. 3-1)
c.
Microphone
Jack
Selector
Switches.
Two
switches, placarded MIC, HEADSET - OXYGEN MASK,
located on the left and right sides of the instrument
panel (fig. 2-16), provide a means of selecting which
microphone jack is connected to the audio system.
When the pilot's or copilot's switch is set to the
HEADSET position, the head- set jack is connected to
the respective audio system. When set to the OXYGEN
MASK position, the oxygen mask jack is connected to
the respective audio system.

AUDIO CONTROL PANELS.
a.
Description. Separate identical audio control
panels (fig. 3-1), located on the left and right subpanels
(fig. 2-6), are provided for the pilot and copilot. Each
audio control panel is powered by its respective 2-
ampere circuit breaker placarded AUDIO PILOT or
AUDIO COPI located on the overhead circuit breaker
panel (fig. 2-7).
b.
VHF-FM/VHF-AM
Alternate
Communication
Switch Panel. An alternate communication switch panel
with three alternate-action (push on, push off) switches,
located on the pedestal extension (fig. 3-2), allows
position 2 of the audio control panel transmitter-selector
switch to be connected to an alternate transceiver.
(1)
VHF-FM/VHF-AM alternate communication
selector switch. The center alternate-action (push on,
push off) alternate communication switch is placarded
FM, AM. When the switch is depressed, either FM or
AM will be illuminated. When the switch is set to the FM
position, position number 2 of the transmitter selector
switch (audio control panel, fig. 3-1) and number 2 radio
monitor control will be connected to the VHF-FM
(SINCGARS) transceiver for both transmit and receive
functions. When the switch is set to the AM position,
position number 2 of the transmitter selector switch
(audio control panel, fig. 3-1) and the number 2 radio
monitor control will be connected to the VHF-AM
number 2 transceiver for both transmit and receive
functions.
(2)
Pilot's and copilot's alternate communication
monitor switch. The pilot and copilot are each provided
with an alternate action (push on, pull off) alternate
communication monitor switch, located on the left side
(pilot's switch) or right side (copilot's switch), of the
alternate
communication
switch
panel
(pedestal
extension, fig. 2-12). Both switches have illuminated
placarding which reads MON, ON - OFF. When the
switch is depressed, either ON or OFF will be
illuminated. When either of the switches is set to ON
and the center switch is set to FM, the VHF-AM number
2 audio will be heard in addition to the FM audio. The
FM audio cannot be monitored when the center switch is
set to AM. The monitored audio volume will not be
controlled by the number two radio monitor control.
