#Change the COM frequency to 25 kHz with one encoder switch
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I can create a mobiflight variable but don't know how to bind it to the COM frequency
Looks like the simulator is configured in 8.33kHz frequency spacing. It’s the new standard that is used all throughout then world to allow for more frequencies, what is the reason you want to change back to 25kHz?
Because this behavior is as intended
typically you can switch your unit in the real plane between 25KHz and 8.33
it takes way less turning for bigger frequency changes
so i also many times use the radio in 25Khz and once i notice that it is a 8.33kHz frequency i switch to 8.33kHz spacing when I am close
Yes, in my real cabin there is a COM station with a frequency step of 25 kHz.
I have only two knobs on my radio - MHz and KHz. What command can you use to switch the frequency from 25 kHz to 8.33 kHz?
I have an old King KX-155 radio I use in the sim. You pull the knob to switch to 25K. You need a switch otherwise how would the radio know what freq change you want. By the looks of your radio, it only moves in 25K anyway right? When you turn the right knob it goes 825 to 850 to 875 or can you move the 8 independently from the 25?
this old unit only knows 25KHz - as long as you fly in the US you could continue using it. In Europe it can be used as a Standby device, eg for 121.500 - the sims introduced 8.33kHz to support the whole world.
you could increase/decrease the frequency using $+25 / $-25 and you would have to make sure to take care of the min max range of the frequencies
it's doable.
Its easy with mechanical settings like this as you dont have to worry about the output Mhz changing. You can just change Khz. You just $+ or - 25 like Sebastian says. On - operation if =0 then $=95 and on + operation If $=95 then $=0 assuming it works like mine does
On the GNS530 you can switch 8.33/25 kHz mode inside one of the menus.
But there is also a K-Event in MSFS:
1 (>K:COM_1_SPACING_MODE_SWITCH)
Should toggle between 8.33/25 kHz mode too. After changing the mode, the above mentioned events will change the decimals in 25 kHz steps.
Ape42,Thank you! 1 (>K:COM_1_SPACING_MODE_SWITCH) This is what you need. Everything worked as it should.
