3-26. MARKER BEACON RECEIVER.
a.
Description. The marker beacon receiver is
located inside the No.1 VOR receiver. The marker
beacon receiver obtains power through the VOR
receiver. The marker beacon provides visual and
aural indication of the aircrafts position over a 75
MHz marker beacon ground transmitter. Upon
entering the range of marker beacon signals, blue,
amber, or white annunciator lights will illuminate,
and corresponding aural signals will indicate aircraft
passage over the (0) outer, (M) middle, (A) inner or
airway marker beacons. Range is vertical to 50,000
feet. Volume, and sensitivity controls are located on
the marker beacon audio control panel (fig. 3-1).
b. Controls/Indicators and Functions.
(1.) Marker beacon sensitivity switch
(marker beacon audio control panel, fig. 3-2). Con-
trols sensitivity of marker beacon receiver.
(a.) HI position. Enables high sensi-
tivity operation of marker beacon receiver.
(b.) LO position. Enables low sensi-
tivity operation of marker beacon receiver.
(2.) "0" indicator. Illuminates when air-
craft passes over an outer marker beacon.
(3.) "M" indicator. Illuminates when air-
craft passes over a middle marker beacon.
(4.) "A" indicator. Illuminates when air-
craft passes over an inner or airway marker beacon.
c. Marker Beacon Operation.
