19.1 COMMUNICATIONS AND ASSOCIATED
EQUIPMENT
Figure 19-l lists the CNI equipment associatedw ith
the aircraft/weapons systems.
Operation of electronic equipment for more
than 5 minutes without adequatec ooling will
permanently damage the equipment.

NAVAIROI-F14AAD-IA.
The AF’X-76 IFF interrogator antenna is an integral
partoftheradarantenna. SeeFO-1 andFO-2 forantenna
locations.
19.1.2 Communications Antenna Selection.
Selection of the upper or lower antenna for use by the
two communication radios and the D/L or JTIDS is
manual and is controlled by switches on the RIO ANT
SEL panel (Figure 19-2). The D/L is always on the
opposite antenna from V/UHF 1. Antenna selection for
the IFF/SIF can be either automatic or manual. The ANT
switch on the IFF control panel controls antenna selection
and is described in Chapter 21. Tacan antenna selection
is completely automatic. If a signal is lost or is
too weak to maintain receiver lockup, the tacan cycles
between the upper and lower seeking a stronger signal.
See Chapter 20 for tacan operation.
19.1.3 Mutual Interference. Mutual interference
among the ViUHF communication radios and between
the V/UHF communication radios and D/L. can OCCUI:
In the UHF band, minimize mutual interference by selecting
opposite antennas or a !?equency sepamtion Of
at least 55 MHZ between radios if both are being used.
When D/L is in use, mutual interference can be minimized
by using VHF channels for voice c~mmunicetions.
If this is not possible, frequency separatioo of at
least 55 MHz and selection of opposite antennas for
voice and DiL. are recommended.I f necessaryV, /UHF
1 or2 can be shut off. UHF communications interference
with D/L may cause the TILT computer message to
appear and the autopilot ACL or VECPCD mode to
disengage. D/L interference with the radios may cause
audible chirping at the D/L message reply rate.
In the VKF band, both radios should not be operated
