Touchdown! Greaser!
My wife has started her IFR training in our Cessna 172. The plane is going to Sarasota this weekend to get a Garmin audio panel and a GNS 530w, but it currently has a pair of MX 300 Nav/Coms.
The instructor said he could not pick up morse code with our unit ( a unit with which he was not familiar). I am at work now and cannot find anything about that on the internet. Is anyone familiar with the MX 300 that knows if/how we would do that? Does an IFR pilot really need to hear morse code? I haven't used that since I was a boy scout. To show how long ago that was, it was way before I learned how to use a slide rule. And no one had ever even considered NOT getting up to change the TV to the other channel.
