Rongor Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 Channel select switch has 1, 2, 3, 4 or P, so 5 settings. Still manual claims 8 different stations can be programmed, which corresponds with the DTC number of ARK-19 inner and outer NDBs. Now what does the 5 position channel selector do in this regard? How to access channel "6"?
Dragon1-1 Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 You have four numbered channels, each of which can have an inner and outer beacon defined. That works out to eight. This is intended for use with inner and outer locator markers (the idea is that you can have up to four airfields, each of which has an inner and outer beacon), but can be used for any other beacons. I forgot what P does, IIRC it was in one of the Wags' videos, but it's not like the other four channels.

The issue I have is that this panel doesn't allow to switch between inner and outer, so its still unanswered how the channel selector corresponds to one of 8 beacons specifically.
Dragon1-1 Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 (edited) Inner-outer switch isn't on this panel, this is normal in Soviet aircraft. I don't have the MiG-29, so I don't know where it is, look at the cockpit schematics, or watch the Wags' video. In any case, this is a switch that you flip to tune one beacon or the other. It's convenient if you have them set up as locators, since you can toggle between them by flipping one switch. Edited December 30, 2025 by Dragon1-1

In the MIG29 if you have the Airfield and beacons programmed the switchover from outer to inner is automatic. 1
Dača Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Switch is located just bellow hud control panel. See picture with white circle. Sorry for amateur approach. Switch goes left-right.
