Question: NTTR - RSBN and ATC channels (for MiG21)

[slicker55]

After hours of searching ... anyone know where I can get an up-to-date list of all available RSBN and ATC channels for NTTR in relation to MiG21

@Frederf

Thank you - very helpful... now I can find my way around the map!

Re. calling ATC's, still struggling to find a list containing the pre-set radio numbers for use in the MiG21 (similar to charts available for the Caucasus map)

I'm starting to wonder if in fact a generic list exists - maybe, you have to create your own pre-sets using the mission editor?

[Frederf]

Yeah, there isn't a way to define the preset channel frequencies on a per-terrain basis. The list of channel-frequency given in the image above is the same for all terrains.

 

In the early days of NTTR the frequencies were simple integers like 123, 124, 124, 126 MHz like Causcuses and this is when the kneeboard table was made. But at some point in the past for NTTR those were changed to more real frequencies like 132.55, 118.3, 119.9. Currently there is no correspondence between the default channels and useful frequencies for NTTR. With the default frequency channel arrangement it is impossible to contact ATCs in NTTR.

A really helpful answer - much appreciated

 

So, for MiG21, currently, ATC not working in NTTR (across the board) unless you edit the list of pre-set radio channels in the mission editor?

 

By this I mean, replace the 'default' frequencies in the mission editor with the 'more realistic' frequencies

 

When I open the mission editor, create a new mission and click the radio tab, I see a list of pre-set radio channels containing 'default' frequencies

 

If, for the purposes of this exercise, I replace the 'default' frequency in pre-set (1) with a 'realistic' frequency, tuning the radio in the cockpit to pre-set (1) should enable me to contact the ATC associated with that frequency (easy comms off)

 

So, using the following example:

 

NELLIS AFB

 

VHF AM

132.550

 

UHF AM

327.000

 

VHF(L) AM

38.700

 

HF AM

3.900

 

Two questions:

 

Which one of the four frequencies above should I use for MiG21?

 

How do you know which frequency 'band' to use?

 

:book:

[Frederf]

132.55. R-802G is capable of 100-150MHz increments of 1/12th MHz. But in DCS this radio can take UHF too but we don't talk about it :music_whistling:.

slowly getting there - flying' around, calling up, checking rsbn.. actually a good way to see the maps... :)
