Glareshield Radio Panel

  1. COMM2 Radio
    Frequency range is between 118.000 and 136.975 MHz, for example 118.025 is displayed as 118.02 and 118.375 as 118.37. The TRM button indicates, if either COMM1 or COMM2 is transmiting. With BTH pushed, both radios can receive, otherwise the transmitting radio is the only receiver. See COMM1 Radio (48) on the Captain's Panel
  2. ATC Radio
    The transponder code identifies your plane on the radar screens of the air traffic control. If the VFR button is pushed, 1200 is used as transponder code, and no other code can be dialed in as long as this button is active. The TST button is used to check the displays of the ATC Radio.
    If green warning light is blinking, other air traffic is within 20 nautical miles.
    [FS: Use Cockpit-Quick-Infos to get distance, altitude and magnetic course to the detected AI or multiplayer aircraft.]
  3. ADF Radio
    The automatic direction finder receives NDB signals (100.0-1799.9 KHz). The IDT button toggles the NDB ident sound. The ADF-needle of the RMI (27) on the Captain's Panel will not work, if the ADF Radio is turned off, or if no NDB signal is received.
