I can't set my NAV radio freq right theyre off by .01

[EvilJoven]

My nav radios are doing something weird. One set of frequencies is set properly to ###.#5 and I can change the fequency in increments of .05

The other frequency is set to ###.#6 and when I turn the inner knob it switches between 6 and 1

Any way to fix this?

Hello - another forum member had a similar problem recently in the Comanche. For the method to clear the persistent radio frequencies, please see this thread.

I'm curious as to whether you have any other add-on software which is altering the NAV frequency?

Thanks,
Nick

I had vPilot running but that only touches the com radios and transponder. I also had The FS Economy client running that will put the radios in a failed state if you don't have an IFR package installed (as far as their service is concerned) so maybe it was that but I don't think it touches radio frequencies.

Anyway, deleting My Documents\A2A\FSX\Cherokee180\Cherokee180Log.dat.f did the trick. My plane got reset entirely including the radios.

Thanks for the hint.

Glad that you're back in business.

Actually, I think FS Economy might be the culprit, as another user reported a similar issue with the A2A 182T here: NAV frequency - reset after FS Economy flight.

Cheers,

That is exactly what happened to me. I'd just 'bought' a Cherokee in FSE and my very first flight was to a place where I could get an IFR package put in. The FSE client must have set my radios to 111.11 as well. I knew that the FSE client would fail the radios, but I thought that was by forcing the Avionics switch back off if you turned it on, not by changing the frequency. I didn't pay it much attention because my one and only flight without a radio was about 5NM to a field where I could get one installed so I didn't even turn the radio master on.

Perhaps the documentation I read was out of date.

Anyway, all fixed, and now I know how to fix it if it happens again.

Thanks for all the help.

EDIT: perhaps A2A could include a radio sanity check in the Cold & Dark button and/or Auto-Start button. If the active and standby frequencies for the radios aren't valid set them to the closest one, rounded up?
