I believe the B744 (and most likely other A/C) has 3 radios (ignoring things such as HF radios, and I can't remember if the 3 are UHF or VHF). L - C - R. Would it be an accurate assumption that the pilot tunes in on the L radio, the co-pilot tunes in on the R radio and the C radio is tuned into the emergency channel?
Also if for instance, both pilots decide to use the L radio, would changing the frequency on the pilots side mean that the frequency displayed on the radio on the co-pilots side automatically update with the new frequency? Also would both displays show the same standby frequency or could both pilots be using radio L, but each one has a different standby frequency at the ready?
Civil aircraft use VHF, while military use UHF amongst other things!
