Hello fellow simmers, Took a md-82 for a spin today. Very nice plane indeed! But i ran into a problem when i was dialing in an adf-frequency. When i actvated the stand-by freqency it changed the decimal from .5 to .1.  The same did not happen when the decimal was any other figure. Have any of you got a suggestion on how to solve this? all other function including all other radio-frequencies are working perfect. Regards Kim Jensen |

You might have simply rolled the frequency selection knob "too far". So far as I am aware .... there are no issues relating to any of the GOLDING or SPADA panel radio frequencies when using the selector knob. The Radios sub panel is commanded into view using the following keyboard commands .... SHIFT 3.... which results in the Radios sub panel then appearing over that portion of the AP panel, on the Main Panel, which is occupied by the default VOR1 and CRS data .... just to the right of the Wing and Nose Gear lighting switches. Selecting a VHF, VOR2, ADF, or COM frequency (the only 4 options available on this particular Radios sub panel) is achieved by simply clicking the appropriate tab for each of these .... and which the activates a green led lamp to confirm the frequency that has been selected. In the case of the ADF (only ADF 1 is available in these panels) .... Simply click the "ADF" tab. Check that its green led lamp has illuminated to confirm that particular frequency mode is has actually been selected. Then using the radio frequencies selector knob .... located below the standby frequency box .... simply roll up the desired ADF frequency. PLEASE NOTE .... the are 4 hot points associated with this selector knob and which are located on the "left of this knob", the "center of this knob", the "right of this knob", and also to the "extreme right of this knob and just outside of its right rim". Using these hot points one should, then, experience no difficulty, whatsoever, dialing up any logical sequence of frequencies used for VHF, VOR2, ADF, or COM radios. These frequencies can then be exchanged between the right standby box, and the left active box, by using the transfer tab located immediately between both. Again .... there's no known issues associated with either of the Radios panels, or the frequencies, in these panels. See how you go  Mark C AKL/NZ |

Hi Mark,
I think i will try to re-install the panel. Its really strange. I've used those panels for years now, and haven't had that problem before. Maybe something went wrong after I installed the latest updates. I'll try again and reports back, if it fails. And thanks a lot for your fast responce.
Best Regards
Kim

I don't think you need to uninstall/reinstall the panel in order to resolve this issue .... especially not if you've installed it correctly to start with and have it running basically fine excluding the apparent minor ADF glitch.
Although there is no known/recognized issue with any of the radios in any of the 4 MDXX panels currently offered by HJG, it may, if necessary, be possible to reset/unscramble the ADF frequency "glitch" you're, apparently, experiencing by temporarily loading any FS2004 default panel .... and then setting/adjusting the ADF frequencies in that particular default FS panel and prior to commencing your MDXX aircraft/panel flight.
Temporarily loading an FS default aircraft at the start of any FS session or between aircraft changes within the same flying session .... "THEN" selecting you add-on aircraft of choice .... is a recommended, but not entirely essential, procedure .... that is known to resolve some potential panel "glitches" like stuck instruments etc.
By any chance .... do you have FSUIPC installed ?
And if so .... then have you, by any chance, have any of the options activated which allow for "finer units of radio frequencies" to be set (I forget the name of this particular FSUIPC option) ?
"IF SO" .... then I'm wondering/speculating if activation of this particular FSUIPC option "might" be the cause of your current ADF experience.
"ONCE AGAIN" .... there's no known issues relating to any of the radio frequencies in any of the 4 MDX panel options currently offered by HJG, but, it is not known how any FSUIPC impsed radios options might impact the radios frequencies in any of these panels generally.
FSUIPC is "NOT" an essential, or even required, component necessary to run any of these 4 MDXX panels .... whereas it "IS" required (only in order to operated the weather radar units) in "unregistered" form for other HJG panels.

Hi Mark,
I Think you are right about loading a default plane. I did not do that. Otherwise its working perfect. And I do have FSUIPC installed. And i know the function you mention. Will try to disable this, if it does not help to load a default plane at start up.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
