Microphone Gain Selection
In very high noise environments (such as open cockpit, etc.) the PMA5000EX can be switched to a lower 
microphone gain by configuring internal switches. 
2.7 Communications Antenna Installation Notes
For best results while in Split Mode, it is recommended that the one VHF communications antenna is lo-
cated on top of the aircraft while the other communications antenna is installed on the bottom. Any an-
tenna relocation should be accomplished in accordance with AC 43.13-2B, and /or aircraft manufacturers’ 
recommendations. 
WARNING
It is probable that radio interference will occur in the split mode when the frequencies of the two ai r-
craft radios are adjacent, and/or the antennas are physically close together. PS Engineering makes 
no expressed or implied warranties regarding the suitability of the PMA5000EX in Split Mode.
