How to tune the ADF
Check out the screen capture. I have circled three items.
One in green is the switch that turns the unit on and selects various modes. Use the ADF position.
The tuning knob has a few selections. The outer ring selects the proper band, while the inner knob selects the frequency.
In this example I have selected the Georgetown NDB - frequency 323.0. You can access this information from the FSX menu in World/Map, or from approach plates. Using mouse over and left and right buttons to move the knob you select the proper frequency. As you get close to the proper frequency you can check the exact frequency from the window that appears when you stop pushing the mouse button (in orange circle). As you get close to the proper frequency, check the meter [this shows full strength] at the top of the ADF control panel (also in orange circle). You have to be in range of the NDB to receive the signal. Then select the audio switch and identify the code.
