No need! It’s all part of the mission planning and, if you do nothing, it’ll get saved to your data cartridge automatically. As long as you load the DTC, and follow the ramp start procedure (including setting the C&I switch to UFC), then you can simple push COM1 on the ICP, then click 2, enter (on the ICP) and preset 2 is set. Etc.
(Some people will say there’s a whole click dance thing required with the dtc and mission planning screen. My personal experience (with statistics to back it up!) is that it’s unnecessary, at least in 4.35.1)

Rubbra:
Your clarification of UHF, VHF and Wingman cleared things up for me, thanks. Sadly, when I read your second post my brain started to smoke a little. I understand setting up COM1 & COM2 (on ICP) for presets but when you mention presets 3 & 4, I’m now unsure how to set that many up. Is there a tutorial somewhere that can walk me through that?
Thanks
For presets there is something called the UHF COM ladder you climb it up on take off and climb it down on landing
2 Ground
3 Tower
4 Departure6 Tactical (Awacs)
7 Arrival
8 Tower
9 Groundbehind them which includes the preset number.Next think of your DTC as a SUB stick that is preprogrammed with all that information and than taken to your jet.
So before hitting the commit button do the Falcon click dance.
Click the DTC icon go to IFF click IFF Plan, go to COM click COM Plan and save your DTC.One in the pit in your start up sequence load the DTC. Now you have all presets with their corresponding frequencies available.
To change from a preset (frequency) to another. So Ie you are taxi and talking to Ground on preset #2 (xxx.xxx) and you reach the runway and ground to tell you to switch to tower on frequency yyy.yyy
The only thing to do is change to preset 3Switching preset you don’t even have to use the ICP COM button.
With your main DED page you could use the 3 way switch on the ICP to move the caret between Stpt com1 and com2.
To change value use the Rocker switch up downGesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

I really do appreciate the help from all of you. I’m copying your messages and saving them to print out. I fully understand that the Data Cart. has all the information for the flight computer and how to load it. So based on what you are sharing here, is there a reason to even enter the Radio Freqs. into my ICP during start-up?
Thanks again.

The only times I enter a Frequency manually is
1. I have to go to a divert Airfield that is not my alternate Field
2. In multiplayer where we often fly with 20+ pilots therefore more than 1 package and we have to switch to the tactical UHF of another package, but most likely I would have setup that frequency as a preset already during briefing with WDP on a unused presetGesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk

Hi Oakdesign
I’m glad you pointed that out.
Since I’m just working on training missions then I don’t need to really be concerned about setting radio frequencies at all at this time? -
You don’t need to worry about setting anything for the training missions. Just use presets.
