Link 4C issue

[Hrundel Slushkov]

Hey guys

I've never used F-F datalink (link4C) before, but now I'm trying to learn how it works... and I just can't get it to work...
I did a mission where my friend and I spawned in the air in one flight.
Me and my friend (on the second F-14) sets the same datalink frequency (300.3). 
Then I select code 01 (5301 in Kneeboard). 
After I switch the mode to AUX (Link4C), set REPLY to Norm. And I turn off the radar.

A friend does the same thing (only the code is set to 02), but the radar does not turn off...
On my opinion, I should see the contacts that he sees... but I don’t see anything...
What could I be doing wrong? I've read the entire manual and can't find the answer.

Make sure your friend is in TWS. It sends contacts over the datalink based on the Phoenix firing order you only get in TWS.

 

I would also try with your radar on. No reason for it not to be, you will know if you see datalink tracks regardless, the symbology is unique.

 

I would also check the kneeboard to make sure the first two digits in the kneeboard code actually match with your friend. I haven't tried it in airstart myself
