Squawkbox Dual voice room operation

My radio has dual chanel capability, that is I can tune and enter the voice room of two controllers.

The questions are now many:-

Which of the two receives my voice?

Having now tested this only the vhf1 coms radio is received on the land side but I suspect this is because it was the first frequency that I tuned . I can hear both stations.

 

How do I switch sending between the two?

 

The airplane is qpac a320 v2.0.3 but I guess it is a generic problem.

 

I have tried with the Cessna 172 that has a com1 com2 switch with no standby feature and it can also open two voice rooms but it also refuses to switch between the two.

 

Is this a squawkbox or xplane question?

I was about to answer in terms of MSFS, but then I saw at the end of your post that you mentioned XPlane ... did you mean to post in the XSquawkbox forum? This is the Squawkbox forum, which is for FS9/FSX.

yes I intended to post here. I do not know who´s problem it is and at the moment all I am doing is aggravating the atc. Squwakbox also operates with xplane.

 

As I say the problem is not only with the a320. Squwakbox opens two voice rooms but neither the cessena or the A320 will switch calling frequencies as far as I can make out.

No, Squawkbox is only for Microsoft flight sim. If you are using X-Plane, you are using XSquawkbox, not Squawkbox. (Easy mistake, since their names vary by a single letter.)

 

I'd recommend posting in the XSquawkbox forum:

It seems this is a docomeented failure and has a low development priority. Apologies for disturbing the pond.
