    @ethreven Have you tried it using the GNS 430 or 530, which are not limited to two decimal points.

    I do recall some mention somewhere of the KX170 frequency band being widened so that it would include the 0.005 but I can't recall where I saw that.
    (EDIT: Oops, ignore this. I was getting confused with the ADF frequency issue.)

    @sender46 I have, but today it wasn't my first flight in Greece, I flew there before with KX170 and I have never had any issue with a radio communication. I'm going to spawn at different airports and check the radio. Fortunately I'm not lonely with my case 🙂

      I'm having the same issue. When tuning the radio to 129.67 for example, the simulator thinks you are tuning to 129.670 instead of 129.675 and so the radio doesn't tune properly. I'm having the same exact problem with ATIS at KSWF 124.575, you can't tune to that frequency.

      @wizardneedsfood You're right, that's what it's doing.

      @Sender46 The KX170 shouldn't even be able to tune 129.670. It only supports 25 kHz separation, so tuning anything ending like .X2 or .X7, it's actually .X25 or .X75. It shouldn't have to be artificially widened to include those frequencies. I think what you're remembering is the fractional ADF frequency issue

        Ah yes, you're right. Apologies and thanks for the correction.

          We'll fix this is the next update. If you contact our support team, they can provide an updated gauge to fix the COM tuning issue which can be used in the meantime.

              Is this present in the other Pipers, as well?

                @jmarkows I've had it in the turbo III so I assume it's present in them all

                      Does anyone know the status of this bug? I don't think it was corrected in the last update. Can anyone confirm/deny?

                      Thanks
