No

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

It looks from your screenshots that you’re tuned to a LOC/ILS frequency. OBS mode doesn’t work when tuned to a LOC/ILS freq. Try it with a valid VOR/VORTAC frequency and see if works for you then.

Sorry, my rookie mistake…I had the ILS (not the VOR) tunned so obviously the radial was not working correctly when not aligned and in range. As for the OBS, I don’t know what causes the issue but it does not affect my fight

For an ILS or LOC signal, tuning the OBS will never have any effect, even if you’re aligned and within range of the facility. That’s one major difference between VOR/VORTAC signals, and a LOC signal.

Be careful with the terminology here. There is a GPS OBS mode which has nothing to do with VOR’s.

Absolutely a Great Point! I was too locked into just talking about VOR OBS mode.
