Select / Frequency tune command is not working correct

[Reusenfisch]

Pilots!

I am having an issue with tuning radio freqs with VAICOM PRO. VAICOM doesnt recognized the number behind the dezimal. I can tune for example 127.00 but not 127.55. I see the freq is recognized but there is no line in VA that says select 127.55 with the purple dot in front. It is the F16 module.

 

Any thoughts?

Yeap, you have to do the full number after the decimal. 

 

It would be fine to say

Tune radio 127. 0

but you have to use

Tune radio 127.550

AHHH,

the manual says that use: select xxx decimal xx. So it is a 3 digit number behind the dezimal? Isnt the command select? Just curious since you stated tune. Does it have something to do with easy radio?

 

I love this community....

Yes, the command is select. I guess it just got mixed up with Jester/AIRIO, there you use tune as a keyword.

Thank you, but it must be a 3 digit number behind the dezimal right??

 

One other short question...

 

How do I turn EASY comms off in vaicom? It always says EASY comm ON??

Don't really remember, because I don't use it to much. The modules it's handy in doesn't support the feature. I use "select channel x" for presets, and I guess I say "select 269 decimal 0" when it's no trailing decimals, but "select 131 decimal 550" ie.

You don't. You turn it off in your DCS settings, or it may be forced on in a mission. VAICOM does display it incorrectly once in a while though. 

Cheers!

Thank you!

 

Will try it out

It always says that when you are not in a mission. Try checking from within a mission that has easy comms off. If you need further conversation I suggest starting a new thread since this is a completely different topic.
