I have had lock-ups on longer X-C flights with the pa24-250 recently that could be from a memory leak. So I used the system monitor to check on VM growth. The only 2D pannel used in the pa24-250 is the radio stack. So I tried commenting out various components of the radio stack in the file

[Flightgear-devel] Utility function for TACAN in controls.nas

If someone would be so kind as to commit this, I think it will come in handy in more cases than just the ch53e. It seems that many military TACAN sets adjust the channel as one big number, and not by the individual digits. This will allow that with a single Nasal call. Josh 359a363,386 > ## > # T
