A pair of questions about the R-863

[Tarres]

From the English draft manual, pg. 92.

 

Are the following items implemented?

 

.- "АП" (EMERG) green lamp indicates presence of an active signal on the emergency receiver (regardless of the position of the "АП" (EMERG RCVR) switch),

.-"АП" (EMERG RCVR) switch allows the pilot to monitor signals from the emerency receiver when set to the ON (up) position,

and,

"РК" (RK) switch enables monitoring of radio transmission regardless of the position of the rotary selector on the SPU-7 control panel. (I assume that this allows you to hear R-863 and R-828, for example, at the same time and talking on the radio selected according to the position of the SPU-7)

 

Thanks in advance.

It does seem strange to me that you can only monitor one frequency at a time, especially for an aircraft that is likely to be communicating with command, air, and ground forces simultaneously.
