[CANNOT REPRODUCE] COM with Carrier & AWACS

Hi

I am wondering why the F16C cannot communicate neither with AWACS nor with the Stennis. It is working on the F18.

In the COM dialog, Wingman is OK, Batumi is OK and for AWACS is N/A, same for the carrier.

I am on Autotune. But even if I set COM2 to 131.00 which the AWACS is on, I receive no response.

Either I am doing something wrong, there is bug in my mission file or there is a bug in the Viper.

Thanks for any hint

Are you using COMM 2 for 131.00?

Are you using COMM 2 for 131.00?

You cannot tune COMM 1 to 131.00 Mhz, so yes. COMM 2 is on AM 131.00

Are you using the correct mic switch?

Are you using the correct mic switch?

Good question. Do i need to change anything if basically it is working for Wingmen and ATC, except CVN/AWACS?

As long as you use the correct mic switch for the UHF radio (COMM1) and the VHF radio (COMM2), you don't need to change anything. One thing to try, maybe, is to make sure that the modulation (AM/FM) is the same between the frequencies and your radio. I don't remember if this is the case in the F-16, but some radios can't do both FM and AM for all frequencies.

VHF on 131.00 will not work. I changed AWACS to frequency 268 and it works. It uses UHF.

Is there a trick to use the VHF frequencies? CVN is on 127.5 AM VHF.

Question...not to be rude...

But why are you trying to communicate with the carrier in a F-16? just to see if you can?

Uh,...because there is a hook switch right above the landing gear lever that is whispering “come on, you know you want to try this, why not head out to that carrier” lol
