Feature request - Guard frequency


Recommended Posts

Posted

If I'm not mistaken, Pal+G position of the ERA 7000 ("Main") radio works exactly the same as "T/R+G" or "BOTH" on some other western radios found in DCS, i.e. enables simultaneous monitoring of selected frequency/channel and guard frequency (243MHz, 121.5MHz).

 

Could you please add this feature?

Out of curiosity, how would you know you were monitoring guard? There's no communications on that frequency without using something like SRS, which can implement that separately anyway, no?

I am not sure what your question exactly is ...

 

Guard frequency is just a VHF or UHF frequency that is internationally agreed upon to be used only in case of emergencies. But technically they are no different from any other frequency. The guard channel feature of radios is just an aid to enable the pilot to listen to the guard frequency and any other freq. that is tuned in at the same time.

 

So, for DCE, there is (voice) communication on the guard frequency ... if there is a pilot in distress - be that a human pilot in case of MP, or programmed by the mission designer in case of AI.
