Tuning radios in Airbus 3xx

[Guest mccaba]

On the centre ped there are two sets of radio freq readouts which are all tunable, ie two "active" and two standby. In busy ATC areas I like to tune ahead so that I can easily change frequency, but I can only get SB3 to use the two freq tuned on VHF1. If I select VHF2 on the ped it activates the freq within the Airbus panel, but SB still stays tuned to VHF1. Is there a way to get the VHF2 freq into SB other than just manually tuning SB.ThanksAndrew

In SB3 type .com both

Norman,Thanks for the prompt reply.I was just trying that out. I can tune SB to Com1 and Com2, but it looks like I can only transmit on Com1. Com2 is restricted to monitoring of the frequency. Even if I select VHF2 on the centre ped the SB freq still stays on Com1 ( VHF1 ).Am I doing somthing wrong here ?ThanksAndrew

No I don't think you can do what you are trying to do. Happy to be proved wrong though.Rob Elliott, EGPE InvernessPSS Airbus Support andAirbus Fleet Training Captain, British Airways Virtual airbus@speedbirdonline.co.ukhttp://www.speedbirdonline.co.uk/airbus.htmlhttp://www.bavirtual.co.uk
