Backup UFH comms ineffective during emergency.
-
Greetings,
I did a flight today and lost all my avionics and had to rely on backup to get home.
When I tried to use the backup UFH comms it did not work. I was trying to contact OSAN Tower on 308.80. When I tried to input the freq manually it only went as high as 308.70. After .70 it went to .00
I read the manual and ensured that I had switches and knobs in the right place and setting.
Perhaps I didn’t do this correctly? Can anyone confirm the procedure necessary to use backup UFH on Comm1 for a freq of 308.80?
Thanks,
-Matt

Try it again with a known working jet.

Same here - you can’t select xxx.80 on the radio
