Brief description of the issue:

Discovered this issue at KSUE, although it may apply to other uncontrolled airports with AWOS running on a frequency different than the airport’s local Unicom freq. While departing or approaching an uncontrolled airport (e.g. KSUE) with discrete Unicom and AWOS frequencies, shortly after you tune to Unicom (or after you broadcast on unicom) the AWOS will start being received on the Unicom freq, rather than having to tune to the AWOS frequency. (original discussion started at:
World Hub KSUE comm issues D-930

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

For the second screenshot, Note Comm 2 is set to 121.5 and not being monitored anyway but AWOS is being received over unicom rather than the correct AWOS freq

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

The easiest test is to depart an uncontrolled airport that has discrete Unicom and AWOS frequencies. Shortly after you depart, the AWOS will incorrectly start broadcasting on Unicom.
My specific example was at KSUE. See screenshots accurately displaying different frequencies for AWOS and Unicom at KSUE.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

not relevant

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

The first time I flew into KSUE was in SU15 beta 1.37.5.0 but I can’t validate whether the issue existed prior to this version.

yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

was able te reproduce at a different airport than OP, following those steps:

  1. start at airport KEKS
  2. tune to Unicom 122.8
  3. takeoff
  4. weather message automatically starts broadcasting even if AWOS frequency is different than the Unicom one and com2 is setup on a different frequency
