Abaut Radio, aux, TACAN, ILS, etc… I need some help
-
VHF - Between members of a flight or tune into another flight and or tower
UHF - tower and or other flight members or packages
GAURD - anyone who is in the air and listening irrespective of package or their UHF or VHF channels

And for certain emergencies for GUARD?

GUARD - specifically, anyone who is monitoring 243.000 MHz. If your UHF is set to BOTH, then you are monitoring both your selected frequency and 243.000 MHz. If it is not in BOTH, but you have selected 243.00 then you will still hear transmissions on GUARD.
Use for emergency if unable to contact the desired agencies otherwise.

In BOTH, you cannot transmit on GUARD though if I’m right?

Now it works fine. Thanks.
Just one question. What are usually the frequencies set from 1 to 14 (I use 15 for the tower control) but I don’t know what other frequencies are useful.
I think I need:
- The tower frecuency.
- The AWACS one (in UHF or VHF?)
- Alternative airports
- Wingman frecuency (I think this is the VHF channel, it is’nt?
But the other ones?
Thanks

The 4 points listed are really only critical in MP as the AI (apart from Tower) will respond regardless of COMM tuning, however I recommend ‘simulating’ it anyway as good practice. All comms are listed in the manuals. Typically, intraflight (talking within your flight, so 11 talking to 12) would be done on VHF, Victor. You’ll notice presets 1-4 are titled Flight1, Flight2,…., and 5-8 are Package 1, Package 2,… I don’t what fixed rules are exactly but each VFS will have their own SOP also.
In the briefing, it saysto tune to preset 12 Uniform (UHF) for Tanker Comms, but the tanker will respond to you regardless, hence why it’s not critical in single player, only recommended for SOP and practice. The frequencies and COMM settings really come alive when flying MP
Page 74 of BMS-Manual.pdf explains the frequencies relative to the DTC. Page 91 (section 7.6) gives more depth on how it’s implemented and tied in with AI use.

Correct. The UHF radio set is one transceiver (transmit + receive) and one receiver (guard receive).

Correct. The UHF radio set is one transceiver (transmit + receive) and one receiver (guard receive).
So if I configure the UHF in both mode and channel 15, im transmitting by channel 15 and receiving channels 15 and GUARD. Is’nt it?

yes

Just in case you were not aware of these:
