...to | Setting the frequency is the same for the communication and the navigation part. The only difference is, that the communication part tunes in steps of 25kHz and the navigation receiver uses a 50kHz raster. | ||
Each KX165 has four frequency displays, two for the communication transceiver and two for the navigation receiver. The two displays on the left side show the communication tranceiver's frequency, the two display on the right side those of the navigation receiver. The left display of each half displays the active frequency while the right one indicates the standby frequency. | |||
Twisting the frequency select knobs allways changes the standby frequency (right display) and does not affect the active frequency (left side). There are two coaxial knobs for frequency selection. The larger one selects the MHz part and the smaller one is for tuning the kHz part. | |||
The frequency selection in the FlightGear implementation of the KX165 can be done by using the mouse. Clicking on the left half decreases the frequency while clicking on the right half increases the frequency. Hit Ctrl-C to check for the hot spots of the radio. | |||
The left mouse button simulates the small frequency selection knob and changes the kHz part while the right mouse button acts as the large knob and changes the frequencies MHz. You can als use the mouse wheel if you are running linux. Holding the shift key and turing the mouse wheel sets frequency MHz, without the shift key the kHz part is changed. | |||
The standby frequency and the active frequency are exchanged by hitting the white button labled with a double arrow between the two frequency displays. Hitting this button activates the standby frequency and puts the active frequency into standby. | |||
The "direct entry" functionality of the real life KX165 is currently not implemented. | |||
