SPU-8 selection position for R-828 radio different for transmitting and receiving. And cannot contact ATC

[gnomechild]

On the SPU-8 selector, you can only listen to the 828 (Eucalypt, M-24, why so many names?) when the selector is turned to the "VHF" position. However, you cannot transmit on this radio using that channel, you must turn the SPU-8 selector knob to the "R-828" position. Probably related to this bug is that you cannot contact ATC using this radio. 

 

Steps to reproduce. 

1. Create mission with a unit transmitting a sound and message in band of the 828. (I used 40.800 to match one of Kobuleti's tower freqs.)

2. Tune 828 to the correct channel, switch SPU-8 selector to the "VHF" position and note the message and sound playing. 

3. Press Radio Trigger 2nd Stage. Note you are not transmitting on the R-828 radio. 

4. Change SPU-8 selector to the "R-828" position, not that the message and sound are no longer being played. 

5. Press Radio Trigger 2nd Stage. Note you are transmitting on the R-828 radio. 

6. Cannot contact Kobuleti tower on 40.800 using either position of the SPU-8 selector.
