Just noticed that you are on Windows. Under some sort of Unix I would have
suggested to just use this to get a list of all available airports:

  apt() { zgrep "^1 " $FG_ROOT/Airports/apt.dat.gz|grep -i "$*"|sed -r 
's,^.{13},,' ; }

Can easily be used for searching, too:

  $ apt venezia
  LIPV Venezia San Nicolo
  LIPZ Venezia Tessera


My "mapsync" script will hardly work on Windows, too.

It's all in fgfs' databases and you can read it all out. But that's probably
a little harder on Windows. You need to decompress the *.gz files and search
for the info (this may help here: http://www.7-zip.org/)



> What the radio is useful for? What does it say?

Which radio?

NAV radios? -> for navigation (see http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/vor-nav.htm)
All of this should work in fgfs.

COMM radios? -> currently there's only spoken ATIS messages if you tune in
your airport's ATIS frequency (which you can get from another script that
runs on Unix/Linux only :-)
