I got a brand new PC setup, so I am pretty sure this not a driver issue.  I have an older Saitek Radio Panel and with Spad.neXt.  I am able to load a snippet and have the panel working fine in Spad.  I have the 3 decimal places working, so I am sure things are good.  When I start up FS2020 and use the PMDG 737-800, the panel lights up and things look ok at first.  When I put a frequency in the Standby with Com1 and then swap it, the new frequency moves over and after about 1 second both the active and standby revert to a default value from what was showing in Spad.  Surprisingly enough, when I use Com2 everything works just fine.  The frequency swap holds just fine.  The sqwak also works.  I can run the radios off of number 2, but I was wondering if anybody had and ideas on what is going on?

Thanks.

I would play around with some other snippets.  I'm not in front of mine right now to remember which one I'm using.  But some users create complex ones to fit their needs.  IE, quick push vs holding down buttons have different functions based on how they programmed them.  

Thanks for your reply.  I have checked a couple others and they do the same thing.  For now I am just going to use Com2.  I have been trying to learn more about Spad.neXt so maybe that will help.

did you try clicking complete device then trying out the ones with the most downloads?

Yes I did.  I also had trouble with the baro code changing as well.  I did find another that addressed that issue, but I haven't had the chance to dig further into the Com1 problem.  It could be because I am not using a PMDG code on the SWAP event, but Com2 is working with the same one.  I will keep trying.  Thanks.

The problem turned out to be having MSFS AI ATC Radio Comms turned on in the assistance settings.  Turning that off fixed it all.  Thanks for reading.
