I have had the same thing happen twice with latest version of PF3. After taxiing off the runway, I press the 5 key, and rather than getting ground control, I am switched to ATIS frequency and Atis starts playing. If I manually change freq to ground, and hit the 5 key again, the same thing happens, it switches to ATIS. This happened the last two flights at KLAS and KPHL.

Probably the old duplicate frequency issue that rears its ugly head every do often

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Same thing happened again at KEWR. The radio switches to 121.72, and nothing happens. That was the same frequency at KLAS and KPHL.. This time when I hit 5, it didn't switch to Atis, it just didn't respond.

Just flying another approach to KDCA, and PF3 display is saying that the ground frequency there is 121.72. Will see if it works this time. I just landed and was able to contact ground, but the freq on the radio was 121.70, not 121.72...... Will have to experiment with this some more, tomorrow,.

I see what part of my problem is, why don't the proper frequencies show up in the PF3 Displayer.? Tower at CYYZ is 118.350 and displayed shows y t tower as 123.800, and always shows ground as 121.72/

Just landed at CYYZ, contacted ground at 119.100 PF3 Display still shows 121.72 for ground.

I found the problem. I looked at the PF3 Display INI file and it was pointed to "Daves Desktop PC" instead of my PC. I just fixed. Will let you know.
