ADF Radio Tuning

[Gwhaarmann 3]

Attempting to tune ADF Radios to Freq 303 and 313. Using the knobs on the ADF Radio (Center Pedestal) the range only spans 19-175. No problem with NAV Radios.

ADF radio has a "triple" knob so to speak. Maybe you just missed it?

Wow...

Iv'e tweaked and tried all three knobs and still can't get past the 175 limit...

Any finer instructions?

Thanks..

If you're not able to tune it, then you're not catching the right knobs, it seems. It's kinda tricky.

Use the FIX page instead. There's no way an airline would cancel a flight for a bad ADF unless it was required for a procedure (it isn't here). It's only being used for reference.

Hi Kyle...

Just a little humor on the cancellations...

Honestly, I am zoomed in to where I can practically kiss the knobs... and no luck. Tried different view angle but nil...

 

GS.

 

Bottom knob changes numbers in this group: 175.00

Middle knob in this:175.00

little knob in this:175.00

But all of them max out at 175.00 and the jump to 19.00

I have found the error of my ways...

I assumed, or it looked like the ADF had 2 place decimals and it actually only has one.

So, yes, it maxes out  to 1750.0 not 175.0

 

Lessone learned....

 

NAV Frequency settings all end in a two place decimal... 

ADF Frequencies end in a one place decimal....

Just as important, the NAV frequencies are shown in MHz and the ADF display is in KHz.  It's not obvious from the panel or manual.

Thank you Dan... Though I'll never make commercial pilot in this lifetime...,  I'll sure be ready for the Next

I guess this is as real as it gets....
