Saitek Radio NAV2 Problem (Different logic NAV1 & NAV2?)

Hello together,

I was wondering why my Saitek radio panels work perfectly for NAV 1 but not for NAV 2. 
If I change the NAV 2 frequency on my Saitek radio panel, the frequency does not changed in the IXEG NAV 2 panel.

So I took a closer look on the datarefs and what is happening in the background and found a difference on updating values for NAV 1 and 2.

I set NAV 1 & NAV 2 in the IXEG Cockpit to frequency 111.50

On the datarefs I can see following situation.

sim/cockpit/radios/nav1_freq_hz = 11150

ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00001 = 11150.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00010 = 1115.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00100 = 111.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_01000 = 11.

Then I changed the dataref sim/cockpit/radios/nav1_freq_hz to 11365.
Everything is fine and the frequency in the NAV 1 panel of the IXEG gets updated to 113.65

The datarefs show exactly that change:
sim/cockpit/radios/nav1_freq_hz = 11365 

ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00001 = 11365.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00010 = 1136.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_00100 = 113.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav1_01000 = 11.

Then I did the same For NAV 2 (sim/cockpit/radios/nav2_freq_hz). However, the NAV 2 panel of the IXEG does not change. It stays at 111.50

If you take a closer look on the datarefs, you can see that the IXEG internals were not updated automatically:
sim/cockpit/radios/nav2_freq_hz = 11365

ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav2_00001 = 11150.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav2_00010 = 1115.
ixeg/733/radios/radios_nav2_00100 = 111.

For me, it looks like there is a different logic behind NAV 1 and NAV 2 that causes the problem with the saitek panels.
Maybe I am totally wrong but maybe you can have a look at it.

It is not a priority for sure. However, it would be nice if you could add this to your list of things that need some attention :-)

Many thanks in advance,

Sebastian
