Arakahn Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Help :( Finally decided to use the ADF (all AB I was using had Tacans before). When I turn on the ADF, everything works fine. When I put it back to off and reactivate the SQCH, the beacon still displays on the map and the ADF beeping continues. I tried everything; switching radios for the ADF, off, on, reactivate SQCH on both radios, etc. Still cannot get the ADF to turn off...:helpsmilie:
Manuel_108 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I think this has been a small bug since day one.
bradleyjs Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 I think this has been a small bug since day one. Yes it has. I noticed the issue on the first day but just have been waiting for it to get fixed.. An annoyance but not a show-stopper.

Arakahn Posted September 1, 2018 Author Posted September 1, 2018 That does indeed get rid of the beacon indicator on the HSI, however as soon as I go back to that frequency the beeping resumes, so it is indeed broken (when turned off it should actually turn off).
Arakahn Posted September 3, 2018 Author Posted September 3, 2018 Even with the ADF turned off? What does the Off do then?
Flamin_Squirrel Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 It removes the direction indication from the HSI.

mahuja Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 With a weak incoming signal, such that the signal doesn't overpower the noise, it may be that the squelch logic in the radio doesn't detect it as a signal, and turning off the squelch simply means you get to hear everything including the noise.
Steel Jaw Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Was this ever fixed? Show stopper? Absolutely, very annoying to hear it constantly.
