== Quick Frequency Setup ==
To be shown a listing of commonly used frequencies within the area you're in, click F12 or "Equipment > Radio Settings".  Click "ATC Services in range", and by default you're at KSFO (or San Fransisco Airport) so click "KSFO" and you'll be shown a listing of frequencies.  KSFO Tower and ATIS will already be assigned to COM1 and you'll only need to click the switcher to toggle in between the two frequencies on the COM1 display.
Who know's what's programmed into COM2?  (Likely the destination airport which isn't displayed by "ATC Services in range" button?)
From the [[FGCom#Using_FGCom|FlightGear Wiki - FGCom]] page:
* The local airport Tower (and ATIS?) frequencies have a radius of about 100 km. (About 54 miles.)
* The AirToAir frequencies are 122.75 and 123.45 (ideal for multiplayer events) and they are without any range-limitations, or not yet overcrowded!
* The Echo-Test frequency 910.00 to test your sound settings, as lalready previously mentioned.
