Slazi Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Hey all, I've recently got a copy of F-86 Sabre. Great jet. Easy to fly and lots of fun to throw around. Now for my question. Let's look at radio frequencies: We have the standard - so Batumi is on 131.000 Mhz. In the mission editor, it also has two more entries: 40.40 Mhz and 260.00 0Mhz 131.000 works for most DCS modules. 1) Which modules are the other two frequencies for? 2) If I were to put them into categories, how would I describe them? Standard: WW2: 'nam? 3) Finally, is there a list of these airbase frequencies somewhere, or do I need to check the in-game map? Thanks!

Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
QuiGon Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 The frequencies in the 40 MHz range are used by the Dora (FW-190D). I don't know if the Mustang also uses them because I'm not flying it so far. So it might be WW2 but I'm not sure if those frequencies are used by all WW2 planes or if it's just the Dora or german planes or what ever. I don't know which plane needs the 260 MHz though. I'm pretty sure the MiG-21, which is a Vietnam era plane can use the "standard" frequencies. Same applies to the Huey. Maybe those are for the Sabre (and MiG-15?) but I don't fly them so far, so I don't know either. The A-10 can use those frequencies on the UHF radio though. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
mvsgas Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 In my limited time with the F-86, I used 260mhz freq. Not sure if it was correct but it worked. The second link I posted, brakes them all down by aircraft as well. To the author of that, Lino, thanks by the way.

effte Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) As for categories: HF, VHF and UHF. (Technically, I guess 40 MHz is above the HF airband used today, but the distinction should be clear enough.)

lmp Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 UHFs (e.g. 260 MHz) are used by the very module you just purchased - the F-86F. In the editor, if you look in the frequency tab of your F-86 settings, you'll see the default list of frequencies configured for each channel of the radio set - they're all UHFs. HFs are used by the WW2 modules and the VHFs by pretty much everything else, as you pointed out.
Slazi Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 Excellent replies all!! Great links, Mvsgas. Effte and Imp - Thx. Should be much easier to work with this info on my next flight. Bring on the weekend!!!
