[REPORTED]OFF position on UHF Vol Knobs... UFC doesn't turn radios OFF

[Bonz]

The OFF position should turn the radio and the channel indicator OFF... but doesn't...

[Willie Nelson]

Funny you say that, it’s in the flow chart but I couldn’t find a way to do it. Turns out I’m not going mad.

I am looking for evidence that the display should be turned off but can not.

 

Does anyone have proof the display should turn off when volume is turned to minimum / off?

 

thanks

'COMM 1 and 2 knobs - OFF'

We are aware of the radio off, but not sure if the displays should be turned off.

 

We are going to ask an SME about it.

 

thanks

Yes, I think it's described here:

 

Channel Display Windows. When the corresponding radio is on, the selected channel

(1-20, M or G) is displayed on the 16 segment alphanumeric display window. The diagonal display

segment in the lower right quadrant of each display window illuminates whenever transmissions are

received on comm 1 and comm 2, respectively.

 

That's from NATOPS page I-2-112. (You might want to check that last sentence about the illumination during transmission with an SME, because that's also missing in DCS)

Thank you
