This link *is* from the FG home page.

I suggested to maintain a FAQ on our WIKI for everyone to work on (http://www.seedwiki.com/page.cfm?doc=Flight%20Gear&wikiid=2418), but Curt didn't like the idea. Of course it would have been necessary to regularly archive the contents, so that not all is lost if the service is canceled or someone intentionally destroys it (someone paid by MS, for example, or some other clueless people who don't like this Low Quality Video Game[TM]. :-). > Well..

NAV and ADF radio are connected to instruments and receive navigation signals. They aren't primarily for listening, although you can hear the facility ID as morse code there (which is very useful to verify the station). The COMM (communication) radios are for talking with humans (tower, atc, other aircraft ...) or listening to automated spoken information (weather atis).
