Tuning Red Griffin and Radio Issue

Postby mysako » Fri Apr 30, 2021 3:15 am

Hello,

I am having an issue tuning the radios to the Red Griffin ATC when flying the 777-300.

Using either the 3d cockpit tuners or the radio stack, whenever i try to tune to an approach the radio will not let me tune to the exact frequency, it is always 0.005 out.

for example tuning to London ground worked fine. Then after take off and transitioning through other CTR airspace I was not able to tune the exact frequency - each tuning method "skips" by 0.005 so I get no response from ATC. ie. radio does not tune correct frequency.

I have also tried all of the available radios (VHF L, VHF C, and VHF R in the cockpit with the same result.

I have had no issues with other aircraft using Red Griffin ATC so am not sure what the issue is or what i am doing wrong.

Fairly new to FG so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What frequency you cant tune? London has more than one airport and every airport has more than one stations.

The 777 has 8.33khz radios implemented, but should be able to tune in to the 25khz frequencies without issue. Can you give an example of a non-working frequency/location and the properties RG ATC is checking?

Hi Isakk,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is some examples of the issue.

London (EGLL):- Can tune Ground 121.90 however when trying to tune Tower (124.70) radio tunes to 124.465 (ie out by 0.005); tuning to "Information (128.07) radio tunes to 128.065

Le Harve (LFOH)
Radio tunes Tower 135.20 correctly and Approach (120.35) correctly. Tuning to ATIS (126.17) radio will tune 126.165 (out 0.005)

Dublin (EIDW)
Radio tunes the following correctly Ground (121.80); Tower (118.60); Approach 1 (119.55) Approach 3 (121.10)

However ATIS (124.52) radio will only tune to 124.515 and Approach 2 (119.92) radio tunes to 119.15.

I have moved to several airports with the same issue. some of the frequencies tune Ok, other will be out by 0.005 and therefore no communication.
This occurs no matter which way I tune radio.

Have not had this problem with other aircraft.

Not sure what "Properties" RG ATC is checking

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

Hi mysako!

You can open the "Radio" dialog by pressing F12 and enter the frequency by hand. Not really a solution, rather a workaround...
I can have a closer look at that when I will be at my computer this afternoon.
So far,

Ciao,

Adrian
