Homing on FM Radio Set frequency

[Roadrunner]

hi gents,

 

i havent searched the forum for this as i thought it unlikely to find anything...

 

ok, i know how to add a unit and home in on it when it is transmitting on the FM band, and all is working fine.

 

my idea now has been to add a red unit (me beeing on blue side), that has a transmitter working, and homing in from the blue team.

 

(short story: agent placed a secret transmitter on enemy convoy, find and destroy it)

 

so my understanding is, that in real life this is possible, but may it be, that in DCS the red and blue team cannot listen to each others frequencies?

 

i would understand encoded transmissions etc., especialy in a military environment, but you should be able to pickup the transmission anyway, aye?

 

a workaround would most likely be a triggerzone on such a unit, so thats not the problem, my question is in the bold part of the text ;)

 

thanks & regards,

RR

Can confirm.

I made a mission with a red unit transmitting on 32 MHz FM and a blue unit transmitting on 35 MHz FM. Added a red and a blue A-10C, both could only receive the transmission of their respective ally.

 

You should report this as a bug.

 

Possible crude workaround: use trigger.action.radioTransmission instead, that seems to be independent of any coalition or unit. You'd have to do it with a short audio file (and loop = false) and regularly re-trigger it to make it follow your target vehicle around.
