Monitoring ATC

[Arjun Murthy 1051343]

Hello,

 

I sometimes like to monitor ATC on VRC

 

sometimes when i right click on an ATC's callsign and i monitor them, i can not hear anything whatsoever. I know for sure this isn't working properly because i can hear other sounds on my headphones and when i listen to voice ATIS's, i can't hear anything.

i know the option where you open the communications panel and type in the information of the controller but was just wondering why it didn't work on the right click and monitor

it very rarely does work.

 

all help appreciated

thanks

The monitor function requires the right port to be allowed through your router and forwarded to your computer.

 

If you use DHCP for obtaining your IP address, then it's quite possible the address will change and the forwarding will no longer work.

 

It's easier to get the text ATIS (right click his entry and choose "Request ATIS") of the controller to which you want to listen, and setup a comm channel to his frequency. Then select Rx and either headset or speaker as appropriate in the Comm panel.

I normally listen to the voice ATIS to make sure that i can gain voice my using the monitor function. if i cant here voice on the ATIs, then i know i can't monitor people.

In that case, i normally just use the comm's pannel

 

but from now on, i will just go back to olden and just use comms pannel anyway

 

thanks

How do i get the information that i put in the Vox Server and Vox Channel?

 

Right click the controller and hit Request atis

 

You will see something like rw.liveatc.net/1M

 

Server= rw.liveatc.net

Channel= 1m
