UHF radio freq. desync on mission start

[scoobie]

CORRECTION! The issue below is not a thing on cold and dark start. I was going through traininig missions one by one, so I got under impression it was somehow universal.

On a mission start, the frequency set on UHF radio - as read from the radio's panel itself (above the knobs) - is not what the radio is really tuned to.
You need to turn each freq. knob separately, each at least once, so that their respective megahertz number becomes "alive" or "is taken into account by the radio". For example, turn leftmost knob to "wake up" hundreds of MHz.

This can be easily observed on the "frequency repeater" above airspeed indicator (top line for UHF). The repeater probably reflects the real frequency the radio is initially tuned to. By the way, if this is true then UHF radio can be initially set to VHF range, e.g. 1XX MHz, which shouldn't be the case for UHF radio, I guess. Both repeaters show the same frequency on the mission start (which is the frequency the V/UHF radio is tuned to).

Short track:
