..see the instructions above... Wink...!
It explains it all... Grin...!
Let the mouse hover over the numbers on the radio...
a + sign appearing, and left-clicking the mouse will
increase the numbers, a - sign, (ditto), will decrease the numbers... Wink...!
Note that on the Nav/Com radios the ACTIVE frequency is in the left-hand window, and the STANDBY or ALTERNATIVE frequency is in the right-hand window!
Click in the double-headed arrows to swop-over the windows...

Cheers...

Hi mate...
..glad to be of help!
Have a practice with a small trainer like the Cessna 152/172 and get used to the radios.
It's quite fun when you have mastered it... Grin...!
I use "FSNavigator", (pay-ware), to obtain all my GPS frequency data, but I think you can get it all from the built-in GPS/Map data in FS 2002... Grin...!
...any queries...post here... Grin...LOL...!

Have fun... Grin...!

Hi mate...
I use FS Navigator, which makes it easy 'cos the VOR frequencies are coded blue and the NDB frequencies are coded green on the GPS...
But...
Have a look here...
click in the VOR/NDB buttons in the menu and it will show you the frequencies in the area you are flying over...

...

give it a try... Grin...
Cheers...

You can't get DME frequencies through GPS, and the DME frequency is the same as the VOR frequency. However, not all VORs have DME capabilities.

To get to that menu, you need to click on VIEWS (menu bar on top of the screen, if it isn't visible press ALT).  Select MAP VIEW from the VIEWS menu.

Hi Sean...
I am getting my DME's mixed up with my NDB's*...LOL...!
The two seperate frequencies are VOR/DME and NDB, (non directional beacon).
(FS Navigator comes in handy here..).... Wink...!
LOL...!

Cheers mate...

Sorry tboutain, I really don't use the MAP VIEW much and I was thinking (I really outta quit doing that so much, it makes my head hurt) that MAP VIEW would be associated with the VIEWS menu.

Yup Fozzer, you did... I was going to get to that, but somethings sometimes are more important.  I did notice you fixed the pic at the top there... I can see where NBD was affixed... like a stamp over the previous text.  LOL!  Smiley
