      I am trying to find a way to silence the tower (after departure). I seem to be able to hear take-off/landing tower comms well into my flight … kind of distracting when trying to listen to comms within my package.

      I’ve tried switching to another UHF frequency after departure and still hear tower comms? Does tower also broadcast on Guard freq? Appreciate any advice (the manual is not too helpful in this regard).

      Thanks

          that’s the good thing to do and it should work.
          Te or campaigns?
          Are you sure you don’t take another tower frequency
          is your vhf on a tower frequency as well?

          try switching to uhf 13 and vhf1 and you should be good

                  doesn’t work 🙂
                  ATC is buried in a secred underground bunker. strafing the tower doesn’t silence them. I tried 🙂

                          Have you tuned to the tower on VHF instead?

                              … Guys, no need to switch on the backup radio … if you are still hearing ATC comm’s of other flights, it is because one of your radio is still tuned on a Tower freq.

                              So check your frequency set (and NOT only the channel number, but the actual frequency associated to the channel) and switch your VHF on one of the “Flight” frequency, and your “UHF” on one of the “Package” frequency.

                                      There is a tower UHF/VHF for each base. Just make sure you aren’t on those and you won’t hear tower comms. You set the tower UHF before you fly in the DTC (for example I usually use 15). Then in the cockpit you load your DTC and you are on 15, get altimeter settings, remove chocks, request taxi, etc…. As you are taking the runway or after you takeoff you push to a new UHF to get off the tower freq. For Falcon Online events, you would switch to UHF 13. By doing so, you would no longer hear the tower comms because you aren’t on the freq anymore.

                                      What Dee-Jay is saying is that you should check the frequency you are using for the preset if you think you switched off the tower UHF but still hearing tower comms. For example, hit COMM1, use the directional switch to select the preset channel on the bottom of DED, change it to the preset you are on and make sure you aren’t still on the tower freq. There isn’t a single freq used for takeoff/landing or inflight. It depends on the mission, briefing, your needs, etc…

                                      There are however preset channels built into Falcon for what AI comms you hear (see attached from Red Dog’s manuals). For example, if I’m on UHF 13 I hear all AI comms on my team (all Blue comms for example). If I’m on UHF 6 I hear all AI comms in my package. If I’m on UHF 12 I hear AI proximity comms (aircraft nearby). Sometimes it can be helpful to hear AI comms nearby to see if they are engaging the same group as you, or hear declare responses from your wingmen, etc… However sometimes it can also be too much comms. If you don’t want to hear any AI comms once airborne, switch to UHF 17 for example since nothing assigned to that. But it’s worth noting that you still need to be on the tower freq for the base you are landing at to communicate. You can’t just go to UHF 13 and call the tower. The presets below only corresponds to what AI traffic you hear.

                                      Edit: I agree with Dee-Jay - read the section on the radios. 😉

                                          So you should be able to finf the Flight and Package frequency list and how to use the VHF/UHF along the flight duration because it is explained (as advice) how to use it. 🙂

                                          You should use presets, because once you are accustomed to use frequencies, presets can be very handy. (But first, ppl have to learn how to use freq before dealing with channels and DTC presets.)

                                            presets are handy. I dont tend to use them overly much really. I do tend towards just learning the tower frequencies and using them. Im sure if I needed to do package comms (which is quite the rarity for me at the moment) then presets would be much more useful.
