Saitek Radio panel feedback

Featured Replies

I had a saitek radio and auto pilot panel. Overall it is ok, but one of the LCD digit lines died on the radio. Talk about a bummer. Also the selection knob on the autopilot panel is unnecessarily difficult to turn. 

Honestly, do yourself a favor and consider Class Echo. It does all your COM, autopilot, GPS functions, and various aircraft systems. Great support as well with a very active discord channel. I love it.

I have to agree. I like the panel overall but COM's tuning in the 8.33khz range for Europe is a bit painful because it only has 2 decimal display.
You can still tune in the increment needed but you need to look at the in-sim radio to finetune the third decimal.

Not sure if it is the same for everyone, but on my computer, the 8,333 spacing is actually the default in MSFS. There is a third app that connects these panels to MSFS. When the 8,333 spacing is selected in the sim, AxisAndOhs shifts the decimal point to the left while you are turning the knob on the Saitek RadioPanel, and shifts everything back when you stop. That way you can at least see the all the fraction digits. Holding down the swap button switches between 25 and 8,333 spacing (which, btw, is also present in P3D V5).

I had seen the Class Echo and forgotten about it. I'll have to look at it again, thanks for the suggestion!
