FalcoGer Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Since the 2.9 update, hitting COM -> MAN -> UFC Guard no longer turns on the guard receiver for the UHF radio and instead tunes the UHF primary to 243.0MHz and pushes the active frequency to standby. I'm not aware of any other method of turning on the UHF guard receiver (Indicated by the G symbol in the UHF row on the EUFD in the radio settings column). How do you enable it in this version of DCS? I was digging through the COM menu, then UHF, but guard receiver is barred out. Why? I liked being able to monitor guard with SRS.

ED Team Solution Raptor9 Posted October 22, 2023 ED Team Solution Posted October 22, 2023 The UHF radio has a separate, dedicated GUARD receiver that is used to monitor 243.0 MHz when the UHF is set to any other frequency. If the UHF radio is commanded to the GUARD frequency, this disables the GUARD receiver of the UHF radio since the main transceiver is tuned to the frequency. The GUARD command on the MAN sub-page does not toggle the dedicated GUARD receiver, it commands the UHF radio's main transceiver to 243.0 MHz as an immediate method of accessing the emergency frequency instead of manually entering the frequency using the keyboard. The individual radio configuration pages (XPNDR, UHF, FM, HF) are not implemented at this time, although some functions on those pages may be partially implemented.

FalcoGer Posted October 23, 2023 Author Posted October 23, 2023 Just today I was in the apache and checked the UHF radio settings page again, and guard receiver was not barred out. I could just turn it on. But I don't know why, or why I couldn't before. When can I or can I not turn on the guard receiver?
