Hi Lt.Peter
Yes, it tunes automatically by default, but I can change the VOR frequencies always I want to do it.
Whenever I manually enter a new frequency it appears on CDU, showing the letter [R] (I'm not sure what [R] means) between the frequency digits and the station identifier.
Pressing [DEL] (Delete) and then [L1] or [R1], VOR tunes automaticaly again, showing the letter [A] (I'm pretty sure it means AUTO) instead of [R] as stated above.
The following pics show what was said.
Remark: Now I'm flying over the Atlantic ocean, far enough from the coast, thus none VOR is available.
After manually entered frequencies:
Deleting or clearing:
Auto tuning again:
