a rotary switch is a great thing for radio if you have some 10-raster-switches!
That meens numbers from 0 - 9! You need for freq. mostliy numbers from 0 - 9999,
1st = 1000, 2nd = 100, 3rd = 10, 4th = 1!
Therefor You need four switches in line - mounted in Line in a rack, with showing
the rastered number!
At last one switch to fix the number whitch ist ready to use an send the number!

>That issue has some other things to consider. The first one is the effect of altitude on the two aircraft. Above about 30k feet is where the Eagle really starts having the advantage. It's superior BVR package comes into play with its better detection range and the ability to fire at multiple targets at once. If there is a merg at high altitudes the Eagle turns better than the F-16. When you start getting lower the F-16 turns better and is harder to see.  Of course the other two engined Mac fighter turns even better than the F-16 for those AIM-9M and X snap shots, the F-18 Hornet.

Already got me a copy, would love to see them come out with tools for community development to add compaigns, flyable A/C etc.  I'm still building a Viper, but can't wait for these LOMAC additions to show up.  May have to do some duel programming for LOMAC and Falcon.
