The transceiver is always tuned to the
frequency appearing in the ACTIVE dis-
play. It is therefore possible to have two
different frequencies stored in the
ACTIVE and STANDBY displays and to
change back and forth between them at FIGURE 5

upper frequency limits are 108.00 MHz
and 117.95 MHz. Exceeding the upper
limit of frequency band will automatically
return to the lower limit and vice versa.
Depressing the NAV frequency trans-
fer button for 2 seconds or more will cause
the display to go in to the ACTIVE ENTRY
mode. Only the ACTIVE frequency will be
displayed and it can be directly changed
by using the NAV inc/dec knobs. The dis-
play will return to the ACTIVE/STANDBY
mode when the NAV frequency transfer
button is pushed.
Depressing the mode button will
cause the NAV display to go from the
ACTIVE/STANDBY format to the
ACTIVE/CDI (Course Deviation Indicator)
format as shown in Figure 11. The vertical FIGURE 11

tered, the aircraft is on the selected OBS
course. When the active frequency is
tuned to a VOR frequency, the center of
the CDI scale displays the TO or FROM
indicator.
In the CDI mode, the increment/decre-
ment knob (pushed in) channels the
ACTIVE frequency window and depress-
ing the frequency transfer button will
cause the ACTIVE frequency to be placed
in blind storage and the STANDBY fre-
quency (in blind storage) to be displayed
in the ACTIVE window display.
When the ACTIVE window is tuned to
a VOR frequency, the standby frequency
area is replaced by a three digit OBS
(Omni Bearing Selector) display. The
desired OBS course can be selected by
pulling out the inner NAV frequency knob
and turning it. The CDI needle may be
automatically centered with a TO indica-
tion by depressing the mode button for 2
seconds. This OBS display is indepen-
dent of any OBS course selected on an
external CDI or HSI. An OBS in the
middle of the NAV display will flash while
the inner NAV frequency knob is pulled
out. The CDI is displayed on the line
below the frequency/OBS.

Another push of the mode button will
cause the unit to go into the TIMER

turned on the elapsed timer begins
counting upwards from zero. The timer
can be stopped and reset to zero by FIGURE 18

ton for 2 seconds or more causing the
ET on the display to flash. In this state
the timer can be set as a countdown
timer or the elapsed timer can be restart-
ed. The countdown timer is set by using
the NAV inc/dec knobs to set the desired
time and then pushing the NAV frequen-
cy transfer button to start the timer. The
outer knob selects minutes, the inner
knob in the in position selects ten sec-
ond intervals, and the inner knob in the
out position selects individual seconds.
After the countdown timer reaches zero,
the counter will begin to count upwards
indefinitely while flashing for the first 15
seconds. Or the elapsed timer can also
be reset to zero and started again after it
has been stopped and reset to zero by
pushing the NAV frequency transfer but-
ton. The Audio Alert, if installed, is then
sounded.
The NAV ACTIVE and STANDBY fre-
quencies are stored in the memory on
power down and return on power up.
When the smaller increment/decre-
ment knob is pushed in, depressing the
NAV TRANSFER button will interchange
the ACTIVE and STANDBY frequencies.
The NAV IDENT knob is active in the
pulled out position so that both voice and
ident can be heard. When this knob is
pushed in, the ident tone is attenuated.
The volume of voice/ident can be adjust-
ed by turning this knob.

Pilot Configuration
This mode can be accessed by
pressing and holding the Nav Mode
Button for more than 2 seconds and then
pressing the Nav Frequency Transfer
Button for an additional 2 seconds, while
continuing to hold the Nav Mode Button.
When the Pilot Config Mode is entered
the unit will show the SWRV mnemonic
which is the unit software revision level.
Adjustment pages can be accessed by
MODE button presses.
The pilot may adjust two parameters
in the pilot configuration, the display min-
imum brightness and sidetone volume
level.
Minimum Brightness (BRIM) will have
a range of 0 - 255. The dimmest is 0
and the brightest is 255.
Sidetone volume level is adjusted
when SIDE is displayed. Values from 0 -
255 may be selected with 0 being least
volume, 255 being the greatest.
Subsequent presses of the MODE
button sequences through SWRV, BRIM,
SIDE, and then back to SWRV.
Momentarily pressing the Nav
Transfer Button exits Pilot configuration
mode. The Nav returns to its pre-Pilot
Config state with the new brightness and
sidetone levels stored in non-volatile
memory.
Default Mode
Turning on the KX 155A or KX 165A
while pressing either the COMM or NAV
frequency transfer button will bring the
unit up in the Direct Tune Mode.
120.00MHz (120.000MHz in 8.33 kHz
KX 165A) will be the active COMM fre-
quency and 110.00 MHz will be the
active NAV frequency. This will aid the
pilot in blind tuning the radio in the
unlikely event of display failure.
