Radio Backlight not working...

Post by JoeS475 »

There is every possibility its just me doing it wrong, but for the life of me I can't get the radio backlight to work.

Radio master is on. Radios are on. Turned the little blue dial all the way to the right (100%). In the shift-3 menu it says Radio Backlight ON. I've played with the breakers, and tried both settings of the green switch for Nav + Instrument lights.

But no visible radio backlight. What am I missing? I'm off to see if I missed it in the manual...

I am experiencing the same thing... I don't see anything I am missing.

What do you mean with "Radio Backlighting"? Don't you see the ADF Buttons and the XPDR-Dials being lit when Backlighting at 100%? IIRC those are the only items that use backlighting. If you don't see those lit then there's definitely something wrong.

As Oskar mentions not all the avionic kit installed in the cockpit is backlit according to the models included.

thanks,

Is it NIGHT where you are? They work on mine, but only when it is dark outside. Makes finding those buttons much easier.

Ok, no worries, they work at night. I'm used to the Cessna, where I use them in the daytime (purely for an aesthetic reason, because I like the extra green and orange glow)!

Thanks,

Joe
