Summary :

1- When to use UniversRadio ATC RadioDesk ?

UniversRadio ATC RadioDesk is an external radio set for LotATC 4 DCS, or standalone and if you want with F11 view from DCS for controlling taxis and terminal traffic.
This radio set can receive up to nine frequencies and can transmit up to nine frequencies and with an intercom with an other ATC placed on the same tower or AWACS.
Eight frequencies can be configured. (UHF emergency guard can not)
Nine channels are managed.

 

2- How to use it ?

From Windows start menu => UniversRadio \ UniversRadio ATC RadioDesk.

By default, LotATC is the source pour location transmission. But from “Profile” you can select an airfield.

When LotATC is selected, my sure the  game is unpause, and UniversRadio is selected in LotATC.

Coupling

UR ATC can couple, merge two frequencies together. With the picture above, an AWACS has coupled two frequencies : 20MHz and 136MHz.
An A/C is hidden behind a mountain and can transmit to a JTAC at ground.
So, If A/C talks to JTAC on 269MHz, JTAC can’ received it. But if A/C talks on 136MHz, the AWACS (without listening) delays to JTAC on 20MHz.

UR ATC has two couplers.

Other examples below.

 

 

3- ATC example

Screenshot above shows nine radios :

  1. Ground : listening + coupled on Coupler#1
  2. Tower : ready to talk + coupled on Coupler#1
  3. Intercom : listening
  4. Approach : unselected
  5. Flight Information : listening
  6. ATIS : unselected
  7. free : unselected
  8. VHF guard : listening
  9. UHF emergency guard : waking

Eight first radios are free, and can be configured. Coupling : when an A/C is taxing, an other A/C in the circuit can receive it.

Best experience : under 30.000 MHz relief does not cut communication and it has not range limitation.

 

4-GCI (Overlord) example

Screenshot above shows nine radios :

  1. flight : listening
  2. flight : listening + encrypted
  3. Intercom : listening
  4. other : listening + encrypted
  5. flight : listening (digital transmission) VOCA
  6. free : unselected
  7. himself : ready to talk+ coupled on Coupler#1
  8. himself : ready to talk+ encrypted + coupled on Coupler#1
  9. UHF emergency guard : waking

Coupling : Overlord has two frequencies 148.200 and 387.200 , when an A/C is talking on 148.200, an other A/C receive on 387.200
