I had a plan out of KLGA, which has a Clearance frequency of 121.875 and it was a no go. PF3 simply did not recognize a xx.87 or xx.88Any suggestions?

I haven't noticed any problems with .125 decimal frequencies. What aircraft are you flying that allows you tune xxx.87 or xxx.88...this isn't normally possible: .87 should increment to .90

121.87 should work here, EDDG has the same frequency for Ground (and has no separate clearance frequency) and I never had problems during the beta.
Which aircraft do you use?
Did PF3 say something like "ComFreq: 121.something <> ClearanceFreq: 121.87"?
Did you use COM1 or COM2? If you want to use COM2, you have to enable it in the advanced options section.

I'd like to see the flight plan please and also all the files from your PF3\Logs folder. Is your KLGA stock or an addon.

Flysimware's Mu2 appears to be to problem. When I changed to another aircraft, the PF3 understood the frequency. Flysimware insists that it's not their issue.
Klga clearance frequency is 121.875 .
Hope someone has a solution.

It's most likely to be your a/c. Some a/c have radios that don't do three decimal places. In which case one drops the third which is 5 mostly.

Thanks for the logs.

According to what I see you never actually tuned to the correct frequency and this is what was displed in the FS message window

ComFreq: 127.05 <> ClearanceFreq: 121.87

So if you're saying you actually dialled in 121.?? then we're obviously not picking that up from that aircraft, which would be very, very unusual to say the least

I have Flysimware's MU-2B and will test it with KLGA (default FSX).

Just tested it, it works fine:
The Collins COM in the MU-2B is COM2. If you want to use COM2, you need to go to "Options #2 -> Advanced Options" and enable "Use COM2 Radio".
(and you have to enter 121.88, as it jumps from 121.85 to 121.88)

COM1 is in the GPS unit and is controlled separately.

I like to use the Collins, too, that's why I asked Dave to add support for COM2 to PF3 :)

And I already sent him something for the wish list: Use FSUIPC offset 0x3122 to determine the COM selected in the audio panel ;)
