SRS with Chinnook.

[RossC]

Has anyone managed to get SRS working with the Chinnook.

If so, how??

It works for me, not 100% though.  All the radios have to be tuned in the SRS overlay.  On center console, radio panel you need to manually turn up all the radios individually and make sure they are depressed for monitoring(left click to depress, right click to lift). Also on the same panel is a master volume control need to turn that up as well.  The back up radio (ARC 186) on the back of the center console has its own volume control as well. I have been unable to tune this radio since the latest SRS update. You can tune it on the panel, but make no difference in the SRS overlay.  Hope this helps.

Got it working today thanks to this, thank you.

Cheers. I have been pretty much flying the Chinook since the day it dropped. I am not a helo expert in anyway, but if you have anymore questions be glad to help if I can.

Update:  I figured out the ARC-186 to get it to work with SRS.  On the radio control panel set the knob on the lower right corner to T/R or transmit/ receive.  If you cant see the writing turn the knob clockwise(From startup) to center setting.  Frequencies can be set on this panel, pretty straight forward stuff. Also there is a volume knob on the upper left side of same panel, adjust to your liking.

Enjoy

P.S. Make sure you have Monitoring knob on main panel depressed and turned up as well. (3rd knob from left on pic posted above)

I thought the DCS 2.9 integrated radio replaced SRS, is this incorrect?

I did not get srs and the chinook to work by following the instructions above.  I can get ics to key up but there's no transmit on radio keying.  I have set the radio freqs in the cni page, I have set the freqs in the srs radio overlay, and I've set the ARC-186 freq and turned on the 186.  So far the only way I can fly multiplayer and communicate outside the 47 is by discord chat.

DCS keybinds for my winwing sitck

INT button (voip): first stage trigger (button 4)

Radio button (voip): secondstage trigger (button 5)

SRS bindings

Special interccom select & ptt: ww button 4

??? : ww button 5 <- I tried every radio and ptt binding and nothing keys up. i replaced the dcsbindings with the radio ones and still only transmits on ics.

ICS panel

I set the tx select switch to each radio and no keying, but the srs overlay only shows xmt on ics. every radio set to monitor, every radio vol to max, master vol to max, xmt select knob as applicable.

ARC-186

 turned on and set to T/R, vol maxed
