Hola pirata1906,

add an encoder to your MobiFlight Board and name it, e.g. Encoder.
Then open the example configuration that ships with MobiFlight - you find it in the examples-folder in your installation directory.

Use the Output-example for the "Nav Standby MHz" - open edit and choose your Board, the rest should update automatically and then you can see how you can control the MHz part of the NAV Standby frequency.
Have a great day!
Sebastian

Hello thank you for your response.
The steps you've explained i've already done. My problem is that it seems that despite inserting the correct fsuipc offset, it seems that the instruction sent is wrong in every autopilot encoder event. I've monitor the instruction sent through the mobiflight mega Card in the linda console tracer, and instead of having for example the ap_hdg_inc sent, i get the ap_hdg_bug_set. I hope i'vê made myself clear. Everything else works great butons and leds all ok. Only the encoders in the autopilot section giving me problems. I hope you can help me
Best regards

easiest way would be that you share your config.
I plan to provide a sample config for the default airplanes in the near future.
Have a great day!

thank you that would be ideal. i'll try once again, i believe that is something i'm doing wrong in the VALUE section. i'll try to find out what it is, but your sample config would be a great help.
best regards
