The Huey, the UHF ARC-51 and the Nevada Map

[Lino_Germany]

We have the opportunity to communicate with ATC at the Nevada map via preset channels at the AN/ARC-51 UHF radio.

 

 

So why are these preset channels fitted with frequencies for Creech AFB (channel 1 AND channel 17) but no channel for the ATC at Groom Lake AFB???? Certainly there is a preset channel for McCarran (channel 19) and Nellis (channel 5). So again: Why two times 251 MHz, but no 252 MHz for Groom Lake?

I'm going to take a wild stab and say the default settings have nothing to do with NTTR, and they're just the default settings that happen to tie into the Black Sea map.

 

As for why 251 appears twice, Ch1 is the one that is generally used for communication with wingmen and more importantly: It's the radio channel that changes when you alter the text box next to your call sign. Aka, it's the default channel. It's actually 124Mhz in a number of other aircraft.

The stated ATC frequencies have nothing to do with the real ones. They are defined by the developers.

 

Nellis AFB, Sim:

 

125.00

254.00

39.20

 

Nellis AFB, Real:

 

ATIS: 270.1

NELLIS GROUND: 121.8 / 275.8

NELLIS TOWER: 132.55 / 327.0

NELLIS APPROACH: 118.125 / 291.725

NELLIS DEPARTURE: 135.1 / 385.4

 

So my question is, why can´t they use ATC frequencies at the NTTR map from the default settings that happen to tie into the Black Sea map?

Just got the Nevada map up and running...

Am not able to talk to anybody at ATC.. what are the switch positions and frequencies that are being used?

Is there a link / site somewhere that explains how to use ATC in the Nevada map
