Default Beaver radio khz settings
Hello all,
If you go in to MWAS and choose "None" for the GPS you get what I believe is a default radio set up. When I turn on the radios I see that the last digit (3rd digit after the decimal) in the Com 1 standby freq, the Com 1 primary freq and the Nav 1 standby and Nav 1 primary freqs are visually cut off. It appears that the display window for the frequencies has not been made wide enough to show the last digit completely.
That appears to be a visual display issue only. On this same radio setup, I can not get to certain KHz settings. For example if I try to manually tune in 122.700 you only get 122.680 or 122.709. (Try it with KOTH Traffic...122.700). Try it with KOTH Automated weather (135.075), you can get 135.080 or 135.059. If you use the ATC menu and select a channel from there, it will come up close enough to let you hear the channel, but manually you can't get to some of the KHz settings. Same is true on the Nav side.
If you select a different radio setup (other than GPS = None in the MWAS), those radios seem to work normally.
Thank you for a great airplane. Just needs a little more clean up (or I need to told what I am doing wrong with my radio usage).

Default Bendix-King radios do not display three digits after the decimal, so that's normal to only see two digits.
Default .gau file is not anything over which we have any control.

Hi Bill,
poosd is saying that the third digit IS displaying, but it's cut in half. I am seeing the same thing.
all the best,
R.

Re: Default Beaver radio khz settings
Just FYI, even with the latest update, the default radio on my Beaver still will not tune to all frequencies. Try tuning in 108.20 for example on the Nav side. It appears that the default radios uses
(gauge05=..\panel\C310_XMLGauges!radi_d, 15, 13, 256, 145) in the virtual cockpit window. I would be happy to fix this minor issue myself if someone will tell me where the darn radio is located (file location and name). Love the product, just trying to make it so I can use all the local frequencies and Nav aids.
One more really tiny item, totally aesthetic, not function. The small metal radio call sign placards in the cockpits, don't match the aircraft registration numbers on the tails.
Thank you,
Dean
