DockingMFD Radio frequencies

[Ripley]

This MFD relies on radio frequencies that a user inputs into COM/NAV MFD, right?

So when we approach, say, the ISS, we select XPDR freq on DOCKING MFD, click on "HUD" button, and (when in range) we get a nice "ISS square" with distance and closing velocity.

And when we get even closer, we select the other IDS freq (taken from CTRL+I menu, that should match a specified docking port, like 137.40 for port #1), click on "HUD" again and we have the "docking corridor" displayed, relative to that port/frequency.

BUT, if we change docking port by clicking on DOCKING MFD's "TGT" button, docking corridor changes accordingly, but MFD's radio frequency is still the same old IDS we inputted before.

I don't understand...

Simple: When you give it a target, it gets its information directly from docking port instead of port defined in radio frequency. The frequency is still stored, but not used until you switch it back to NAV. Useful for docking ports without defined frequencies, or when frequencies conflict.
