The manual for the legacy warthog usually calls these VHF 1/2 and UHF, or VHF AM/FM and UHF. The AM/FM nomenclature is what I usually hear people call them and it's clearer, so go with that. For the A-10C II, that manual hasn't been updated for the AN/ARC-210 yet, so I'm not really sure what that ought to be called. The UFC calls it COM 1 though, so I went with that. The alternative would be something like VHF/UHF for the 210 and UHF for the 164, but I don't know if that's actually better. Could be completely explicit and call them by their full names, but that's probably less clear to people that aren't fiddling with the radio implementation constantly (and even I confuse the 164 and the 186 all the damn time).

The A-10C Thunderbolt II, also known as the Warthog, is a 'flying gun'. The
|
|
A-10C is a high-survivability and versatile aircraft, popular with pilots for
|
|
the 'get home' effectiveness.The mission of the aircraft is ground attack
|
|
against tanks, armored vehicles and installations, and close air support of
|
|
ground forces. The Warthog is famous for its massive 30mm cannon, but it can
|
|
also be armed with Maverick guided missiles and several types of bombs and
|
|
rockets.

radios:
|
|
# DCS will clobber channel 1 of the AN/ARC-164 with the flight's assigned
|
|
# frequency, so we may as well use that one for intra-flight.
|
|
#
|
|
# This ends up working out nicely anyway, because it's much easier on the
|
|
# pilot to have the AN/ARC-210 be the inter-flight radio since that's the one
|
|
# with HUD support and the control panel that makes switching channels easier.
