Tomcat radio question

[Reflected]

Hi,

 

It’s not one of those “the radio doesn’t work” threads, I’ve finally done my homework and know how the 2 radios work.

 

My question is that in real life, which one would be used for talking with your wingmen/ awacs/ tanker/ carrier?

 

Thanks!

Comm 2 generally.

As in 2 seat aircraft the RIO's normally complete most of the radio traffic. Or in Civ's pilot not in command would have radio's in his workflow.

So they would use the UHF/VHF radio?

Yes, that means Comm2 - RIO's AN/ARC-182.
