I'm flying the PMDG 737-800 (738) and I'm unable to receive or transmit on COM2

The PMDG 737-800 (738) radio stack can be a little confusing, in terms of the way the COM2 Radio works.  The COM2 settings only work from the captain's side.


To receive on COM2:  Turn on the VHF-2 volume knob on captain's (left) radio panel by simply clicking it.  (The arrow on the knob should be pointing 5 o'clock position)


To transmit on COM2: Press corresponding MIC selector button on captain's (left) radio panel. (The selected button is backlit with orange light).  The correct button is the one directly above VHF-2 knob, second to the left.


Both of those steps need to be done on captain's radio panel. However, frequencies can be changed from either panel.
