They have to make a modification to change the Ch.9 audio source from the Observer's audio panel to the #1 Comm radio. The only way to tell if that's been done, and the system activated, is to look at the switch in the cockpit and see if the "INOP" placard has been removed.
Good info, thank you. Hopefully installs continue and they market it to crew and pax. I gave up asking as so many have no idea what it is.
