I'm trying to create a radio panel for the zibo mod in xplane. I've used the COM1 preset and it displays the first 5 digits but it's missing the 6th digit. Obviously it can only be either a 5 or a 0, but how do I get around this?

So I found the answer myself. The COM1 (and 2) datarefs are for 25hz spacing and for 833 spacing a different dataref must be used that isn't included by default in XPUIPC.
So far I've got the following written to add them, I just need to figure out what offsets are available before I begin testing them.

Code:

# Dataref com1actv833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com1_frequency_hz_833 int
# Dataref com2actv833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com2_frequency_hz_833 int
# Dataref com1stby833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com1_standby_frequency_hz_833 int
# Dataref com2stby833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com2_standby_frequency_hz_833 int
# Offset 0x UINT32 2 r $com1actv833
# Offset 0x UINT32 2 r $com2actv833
# Offset 0x UINT32 2 r $com1stby833
# Offset 0x UINT32 2 r $com2stby833

I ended up using the following. I did initially use offsets 7000 to 7003, but for some unknown reason only COM2 STBY worked and the rest would show a mess of numbers that would constantly change whenever you tried to change COM2 STBY. I don't know the reason why, but putting some space between those hex addresses fixed the issue.

Code:

Dataref com1actv833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com1_frequency_hz_833 int
Dataref com2actv833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com2_frequency_hz_833 int
Dataref com1stby833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com1_standby_frequency_hz_833 int
Dataref com2stby833 sim/cockpit2/radios/actuators/com2_standby_frequency_hz_833 int
Offset 0x7010 UINT32 2 r $com1actv833
Offset 0x7020 UINT32 2 r $com2actv833
Offset 0x7030 UINT32 2 r $com1stby833
Offset 0x7040 UINT32 2 r $com2stby833
