BlackShark Radios versus Warthog Radios - frequency ranges

[VTJS17_Fire]

Hi,

 

in Headspace's TARS manual, I read that the Blackshark operates 2 radios: the R-800L1 (to communicate with the tower) and the R-828 (to communicate with the groundcrew) - according to TARS, both radios can be used with TARS to speech with other players.

 

I'm a Warthog driver, so I don't have a glue about the Shark.

 

- In which frequency range does the R-800L1 operate?

It's the radio, to communicate with the tower. So, it has to be the counterpart of the A-10s VHF/AM radio. Its frequency range goes from 116.00 to 151.975 MHz.

 

- What's the frequency range for the R-828.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

kind regards,

Fire

Does nobody can help?

Easiest way to find out is to download the Black Shark flight manual HERE.

 

"The Ka-50 uses the R-800 VHF radio to communicate with other helicopters and ground crew. The R-800 operates at frequencies between 100 and 149 MHz as well as 220 to 400MHz."

 

"The R-828 VHF radio is used for communication with a Forward Air Controller (FAC) and other ground force units. The system provides constant radio communication within line-

of-sight and it does not require frequency searching and adjustment. The frequency range is 20 - 60 MHz."

The R-800L1 radio can do both VHF and UHF. Its frequency range is 100.000MHz-149.975MHz and 220.000MHz-399.975MHz. It also has an AM/FM selector so you can choose either AM or FM for any of the frequencies.

 

The R-828 radio operates from 20.000MHz-59.975MHz. I believe it's FM only. Also, I don't think there is a way to load the radio in game, is there? I know you cannot set the frequencies on the radio, you can only select from one of ten pre-loaded frequencies.

Ok, thank you guys.

If we can't select the frequency manuelly, does anybody know, which frequencies are loaded with the pre-load function?

 

My mates and I have to know this, we want to test TARS compatibility with Sharks and Hawgs.

You can set the frequency on the R-800L1, just not on the R-828. Not sure if there is an LUA file for that one or not...

[Headspace]

If you are running TARS, your frequencies are visible in your info page in Teamspeak 3. The R-828 operates on a number of preset frequencies. You will be able to see what ones using that method.

Hi,

 

This is an outline of the possibilities:

 

- A10C [uHF AN/ARC 164] and Ka-50 [R-800L1 VHF-2] Frequency Range 225,000 – 399,975.

- A10C [AM VHF-1 AN/ARC 186] and Ka-50 [R-800L1 VHF-2(AM)] Frequency Range 116,000 – 151,975.

- A10C [FM VHF-2 AN/ARC 186] and Ka-50 [R-828 VHF-1] Frequency Range depends on the Preset Channels in Ka-50:

 

Ch.01 [35,650] Ch.02 [25,675] Ch.03 [48,550] Ch.04 [35,650] Ch.05 [67,775]

Ch.06 [52,825] Ch.07 [48,250] Ch.08 [42,050] Ch.09 [52,750] Ch.10 [23,725]

Is there an updated version of TARS that allows this? The War Hawks are currently using TARS version 1.0.1 beta 11 and can only see 35.650 on the R-828 regardless of channel selection.

 

Thanks,

Is there no way to control the volume on the R-800? Can't find any mention of one in the manual or in the pit, other than the squelch, and that's not a variable volume knob.

[Grimes]

Is there an idiots guide to the BS radios? I never really took the time to learn alot of the Ka-50 systems, and now that radios are actually useful it might be something I should figure out.

 

 

PS, really hope we get interactive training missions for that thing like the A-10C training missions.

An Idiots Guide to what aspect of radio communication?

 

The Flight Manual provides quite some valuable information specific to the Shark equipment, else have a look at faa.gov or similar websites.

Speed is asking for the R-800 Volume what you posted is the R-828 Panel

 

We have tryed to use the R-828 in conjunction with the AN/ARC-186(V) VHF FM Radio 2, but seem not work on the same frequency modulation.

If the AN/ARC-186(V) Radio 2 work on VHF FM maybe the R-828 operate on AM, or maybe is a bug?

No...
