nickexists Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 How can I get a unit to broadcast a signal that the Huey/Mi-8/Ka50 can tune into for navigation? I see that units have an option called "deactivate beacon", but can't find anything like "activate beacon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagrum Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 How can I get a unit to broadcast a signal that the Huey/Mi-8/Ka50 can tune into for navigation? I see that units have an option called "deactivate beacon", but can't find anything like "activate beacon". Add advanced waypoint actions: - Set Command: Set Frequency (double check that AM/FM is set correctly for the radio / frequency you intend to use) - Set Command: transmit message I think, "deactivate beacon" is only used to disable TACAN of a tanker.

nickexists Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Tried that and still couldn't get it working, but maybe I'm just missing something in the huey and hip radio setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socket7 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) If you want to use ADF for specific units, You'll need to use the ARK-UD, or the R-828, I'd advise using the ARK-UD, its a bit simpler. You'll have to pick a valid frequency for the ARK-UD, it has 6 channels that are tuned to the following frequencies CH1: 114.167 CH2: 114.333 CH3: 114.584 CH4: 121.500 CH5: 123.100 CH6: 124.100 Setup a trigger to perform the action "Radio transmission" Imp has some good screenshots of how to make it work here. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1901918&postcount=26 Imp said he was not able to get it to work with a single trigger, but I was able to make it work by setting a once trigger, with the condition "Time is more than 10" and the action "Radio Transmission". I'm not really clear on the kind of setup you need to make an NDB if you're trying to setup one of them instead of a search and rescue beacon, but I imagine it's just a matter of setting the right frequencies so the ARK-9 will be able to receive it (150 kHz - 1290 kHz according to the mi-8 flight manual). You'll also want to make sure that there isn't a NDB already using the same frequency. Edited February 21, 2015 by Socket7 Practice makes perfect.
