dmatt76 Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I am In mission 4 I believe, on patrol with a downed Mi-8, and couldn’t find the spot and didn’t here the the crew.. I set the frequency to 243 which is guard, or do I have to set something else on the radio? I am flying towards the dam and bullseye, is this a right direction?
baltic_dragon Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Use the military guard on 121.5, I believe this is the one used. For more information, please visit my website.

dmatt76 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Posted June 23, 2019 Acording to google its a civilian guard :) and watching a mission on YT I believe the guy just didnt change anything and Heard them...
baltic_dragon Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Hm, maybe it is civilian - but I am pretty sure that is the correct freq. I will check if it is listed in the docs.

Yurgon Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I always thought the Swiss are quite clever - they paint the international emergency freq on their Hornet's droptanks, so when they intercept any aircraft that doesn't respond to radio comms, the pilots could read the freq from that fighter jet that's flying right next to them. :) I think the entire UHF range is hardly used in civil aviation.
dmatt76 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 I’ve just googled wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_emergency_frequency
dmatt76 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Posted June 27, 2019 Ok, I have finished the mission and... it was enough just to change the 133 radio knob to AM - then the downed crew started to be heard over the radio.
baltic_dragon Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 ? That is weird :) I will have to check that. For more information, please visit my website.
