kramfiftysix Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Hi Folks, Wonder whether someone can give me a hand, I want to create ADF beacons for navigation purposes on the Nevada map. To test this in the mission editor I've added a UH-1H with advanced waypoint actions : 1) Preform Command > Set frequency > 353.7 mhz > AM 2) Preform Command > Transmit message > Select sound file (morse code "353.7" which I created) > Loop So I have set the radio (in the F-5e), to "Both ADF", set the frequency mode to "Manual", the Nav Mode to "DF" and entered "353.7" mhz. I can hear the morse code received from the UH-1H however, the needle on the HSI just points East. Thank you for any advice
nomdeplume Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Just trying it myself now actually, and can't get it to work either. The radio setting is just "ADF", "BOTH" is a separate position (transmit/receive on tuned station, listen on guard). I can hear my sound sample but the needle stays fixed to the right. Only TACAN seems to be able to move the pointer. Is there something else that needs to be done to enable DF on the HSI? The manual has very few details. Edit: working fine now, not sure what I was doing wrong. Maybe I hadn't switched the nav switch from TACAN to ADF. Edited October 5, 2016 by nomdeplume
