Radio problem

I have one more problem?  I recently downloaded a super connie so I could use it to fly legs on a tour around the world for a Virtual Airline that I fly for. The problem I am having is I can not get any of the radios to change frequency but the ADF radio and the SQUAWK numbers will change. I checked the Aircraft CFG file and the approiate radio section is there and is correct. I have not worked on this problem that much. I dwonloaded the connie in question from Avsim it is the Breitling Super Constellation.
 I do not know what the problem is. I am starting to wonder if the gauge itself is the problem.
Does anyone else have this aircraft or have a idea as to what the problem might be.
Other than the radio problem the plane is not that bad.

Try aliasing a working panel as an interim to your Connie and see if in this other panel the radio behaves (you can use even the DC3's panel, you don't have to fly with it, only see if the radio works).

If the aliased panel's radio gives you no pains, then the fault is of the radio gauge of the Connie's panel. You'll have to try and find a working panel for that plane or edit away the original radio gauge entry in the Panel.cfg and replace it with a working one (you could use the very same DC3 radio, it would not look odd [like would the C172's, as an example] in a Connie. If you know a little panel tweaking, you can do it easily).

If the test panel's radio insists in not working, then go into a working plane's aircraft.cfg, select and copy the whole [RADIOS] section and paste it into your Connie, remembering to erase first the old radio section.

Either way, in the end your problems should be over.

Don't have the ac (yet...d/l'ing now) but if the radios only have an active freq. display (no standby freq.) doublecheck the radio settings in the aircrft.cfg.

[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
