Switch off tower channels

[janjan]

Hi,
Is there a way to switch off specific channel or at least lower the volume for these channels.
In a mission, do I need to hear the tower radi all the time or can i simply turn the current airbase frequency off.
I wan to hear AWACS and/or traffic control but turn off or lower volume for the tower.

Switch your UHF channel/frequency.

You need to read the manual. It will provide the most detailed answers for you.

For starters, you need to clear from Tower Freq after departure eg: select UHF on your ICP, then press “6” then “enter” on the ICP. Press UHF, then “15” then “enter” when you return. Volume can be adjusted on Comms panel on left side. But seriously, read the manual

Yep what He said.

I had a quick look at the manuals, there doesn’t seem to be a very basic Coms overview.

Find a buddy to fly with. I would offer to help you but you would have to be on our TS to do it.

And I’m getting old & cranky. COB. Catch us on a good day, there are others here that will help, http://forum.801sttfw.com/ look for some one with a after their name.

no worries.
i use COM1 + select another channel and it quits the tower.

Not entirely correct, this is vague advice for a novice.
Here you imply tower is always on UHF15, which is not correct. Tower is a manual frequency, different for each tower; and you CAN (not by default and not always) set that frequency as a preset on for example U15.
When you fly from Kunsan but have 252.315 set to U15, you won’t hear the tower. When you set the tower on U15 (292.3) and you fly to Osan and want to land there, if you just switch to U15 again, you won’t hear the Osan tower.

It’s pretty logic. When I tune my car radio to a certain channel (either manual frequency or a preset), and I don’t want to hear the bad music or chatter anymore, I just switch the channel.

@Focaldesign:

I don’t want to hear the…chatter anymore, I just switch the channel.

Aye, too bad I can’t do that with the wife.

Vague? Maybe so, I simply answered his question

“……do I need to hear the tower radi all the time or can i simply turn the current airbase frequency off.”

I’m not here to spoon feed anyone and appreciate you indepth answer, but the manual has a purpose and questions like this are prime examples why.

Totaly agree -this is a global problem

You seriously need to re think that statement or seek some form of help, not the sort of thing to be posting in any public forum.

Jeez, take a chill pill already. So you don’t have my type of humor. Let’s censor all that not complies…

Oh, sense of humor is one thing but there are boundaries. Implying violence towards others crosses it.

[Blu3wolf]

The humor is quite common, it is called slapstick comedy…

Its a bit surprising to see Shad of all folks calling someone out for inappropriate humor. Pot, meet kettle?

…who says you can’t use a hammer on yourself?

You Sir are full of it.

And I’m not surprised buy your support/acceptance of such attempted humor, weather it was intentional or just not thought through in the first place.

If you want to continue I suggest PM.

Slapstick films are comedy films where physical comedy that includes pratfalls, tripping, falling, are highlighted over dialogue, plot and character development. The physical comedy in these films contains a cartoonish style of violence that is predominantly harmless and goofy in tone.

Slapstick is a style of humor involving exaggerated physical activity which exceeds the boundaries of common sense.

…featuring such notables as Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, the Keystone Cops, the Three Stooges… Slapstick is also common in Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies.

Slapstick continues to maintain a presence in modern comedy that draws upon its lineage, running in film from Buster Keaton and Louis de Funès to Mel Brooks to the television series Jackass and comedy movies by the Farrelly Brothers, and in live performance from Weber and Fields to Jackie Gleason to Rowan Atkinson. In England, slapstick was a main element of the Monty Python comedy troupe and in television series such as Fawlty Towers and The Benny Hill Show. Slapstick has remained a popular art form to the present day.

It seems pretty clear to me that describing the use of a hammer to ‘switch the channels’ with your wife is ‘exaggerated physical activity which exceeds the boundaries of common sense’.

Im to be honest a little disappointed to hear that Shad is not a fan of the Pythons, Fawlty Towers or Mr Bean. I confess slapstick comedy is not my preferred form of entertainment, but it would be absurd to say the least to claim it is not a form of comedy, one which is evidently well received enough to make it quite profitable.

Its not a case where one forum user has threatened violence towards another, which would be where a line would be crossed. If you have anything you want to say to me which cannot be said in public Shad…. PMs still seem to work.
