Functionality

Six-Place Audio Intercom with Isolation

The AMX240 features a pilot-selectable stereo or mono, six-place intercom system with automatic voice-activated (VOX) squelch for each mic input. Pilot, crew, and passenger isolation settings are easily selectable with a single dedicated button, and are graphically displayed for clear mode annunciation. Crew Isolated selected. Dedicated knobs for Pilot, Copilot and Passenger intercom volumes allow for full customization for personal preferences without relying on headset volume controls. Pilot Isolated selected.

Integration with R9 and Avidyne CNS

Optimized for use with Avidyne Integrated Flight Displays (IFDs), the AMX240 enables Com Frequency decoding and Frequency Monitoring of the two transmit and four receive channels of the IFD's Com audio. When interfaced with the AMX240, the IFD540 and the IFD5000 (Release 9) are able to decode the active Com frequency and display the agency name. At a glance, you know with whom you will be talking when you key your mic.
