X:Cockpit params for radio frequencies?

[Don Rudi]

Hi,
does anyone happen to know the cockpit params to check, if a specified radio frequency is set?
The common COMM1_FREQ and COMM2_FREQ do not work.

Hi,

You need to map:
> U + V pushbutton - PUSH
> U pushbutton - PUSH
> Communication Menu

You first use the pushbutton to select the radio you want to use on the SIB box (that's the panel with all volume controls on the left side), and then use Communication Menu to call it on the proper radio. This is how you can use AI com radio.

It may sound weird, but on the real aircraft you would do the same, you only have one push to talk (PTT) button on the stick to talk on both radios.
Within DCS, that "Communication Menu" button which sounds like an "easy communication " option actually does the trick realistically.

There is a PTT command within DCS control, I suppose this is for SRS or DCS VoIP ?

Thanks JoJo,

but this is not what I was looking for. In the mission editor there is a trigger condition X:COCKPIT PARAM EQUALS

For the the F-16 for instance you can check COMM1_FREQ equals 241.5 to see if the player dialed 241.5 in the radio. 

What I am looking for are the names of these cockpit Params for the green and red radio.

As of right now, it is not listed in the typical place, list_cockpit_params().

You could get it via something like:

local UHF_RADIO = GetDevice(7)
local uhfFreq = (UHF_RADIO:get_frequency()/1000000)

for example. That is similar to what I do for the Stream Deck.

Every Module has different Parameters, and the F1 seems to not have one Parameter for this item unfortunately. 

So, the only way (to do it without scripting) would be to check the position of the radio knobs, like this:

I will have a look at that, thanks!

Thanks Rudel, 
phew, I hope they will add the Frequency params, as most other modules have them. This looks like a lot of pain
