Thx a lot Roar
I guess that was what I was missing. I forgot that part existed. So now I am editing the PED file with all the changes I made in the 7.0 file.
So I came across these lines that differ. Can you summarize why it is different and what each is achieving? It helps me understand the script a little more for the future. And I do believe these were some of the user changes so hopefully they can find their way into your next update.

Script 7.0.

Var 2688, name NAVDSP_D_S_S, static, Value 1

Var 0042, name sSOURCE_1, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 30, Input 36
{
IF &sSOURCE_1 = 1
{
&NAVDSP_D_S_S = CHANGEBITN 0 ,&NAVDSP_D_S_S
}
ELSE
{
&NAVDSP_D_S_S = CHANGEBITN 0 ,&NAVDSP_D_S_S
}
}

Var 0043, name sSOURCE_2, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 30, Input 38
{
IF &sSOURCE_2 = 1
{
&NAVDSP_D_S_S = 2
}
ELSE
{
&NAVDSP_D_S_S = 1
}
}

Script 7.0PED

Var 2688, name NAVDSP_D_S_S, static

Var 0042, name sSOURCE_1, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 30, Input 36
{
IF &sSOURCE_1 = 1
{
&NAVDSP_D_S_S = 0
}
}

Var 0043, name sSOURCE_AUTO, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 30, Input 37
{
IF &sSOURCE_AUTO = 1
{
&NAVDSP_D_S_S = 1
}
}

Var 0044, name sSOURCE_2, Link IOCARD_SW, Device 30, Input 38
{
IF &sSOURCE_2 = 1
{
&NAVDSP_D_S_S = 2
}
}

Hi
I have managed to drop the script 7.0PED in my system and at least the modules are some how responding.
However I have these issues and I am not sure where to start to resolve them
Please note before this point I checked all switches and encoders in SIOC monitor to notice individual responses.
I do not have these modules COM2, ADF1, ADF2, AUDIO2. (Borrowed known working COM1 for test purposes)

1. COM1 on BAT on, VC displays ACT as 124.000 and STBY as 124.850. However my Pedestal displays ACT 134.000 and STBY 134.850. After I change the encoder then it will match. (SOLVED; per the solution below by removing the +10000, Thx Mr. N)
2. COM1 Test button is not working in VC
3. NAV1 on BAT on , VC displays ACT 110.50 and STVY 113.90 but Pedestal displays ACT 210.50 and STBY 213.90 This will match after I hit the TFR button and VC freq will be same as Pedestal freq. (SOLVED; per the solution below by removing the +10000, Thx Mr. N)
4. NAV1 Test button is not working.
5. NAV1 encoder knob is not working to change the STBY freq. (it showed working in SIOC monitor) (SOLVED; by scanning the forum for answers I saw where to change the panel from MMR to CLASSIC and so this isssue is resolved https://www.flightsim4fun.com/Forum/vie ... =mmr#p4350)
6. NAV2 on GRD Power VC displays ACT 110.50 and STBY 113.90, however Pedestal displays ACT 210.50 and STBY 213.90 Hitting the TFR button then the VC freq matches the Pedestal freq. (SOLVED; per the solution below by removing the +10000, Thx Mr. N)
7. NAV2 Test button is not working
8. NAV2 encoder knob does not work to change NAV2 freq, just like the NAV1 encoder not working (SOLVED; by scanning the forum for answers I saw where to change the panel from MMR to CLASSIC and so this isssue is resolved https://www.flightsim4fun.com/Forum/vie ... =mmr#p4350)
9. ATC left encoder knob changes the COM1 middle 2 digits of ACT freq, and right encoder changes the last 2 digits of COM1 ACT freq. The encoder for ATC also changes the trasponder freq the right way. But it is, for some reason affecting COM1 ACT freq. Note in SIOC monitor there was no cross talk or interference observed when I checked.
10. AILERON left/right wing down both are not working. They work in SIOC monitor.
11. STAB TRIM OVRD/NORM works opposite. Because it is a two way switch reversing the wires did not help. OC have OVRD to the output instead ov the NORM. (SOLVED; I was close but a better solution found here https://www.flightsim4fun.com/Forum/vie ... stab#p4677)

I need some serious help here.

So, I find that the COM/NAV test buttons does not appear anywhere in the latest script.
Does it mean there's is not PMDG Var for it?

Check this topic to find out which Events and corresponding SIOC Vars that are implemented in the 737 driver.
viewtopic.php?t=1114
Of these available Events only TRF buttons, Inner and Outer knobs are implemented in the script for the radios..

I guess the test function is not in the software then as it is not in the list.
Right now #9 on the list up there seems to be my most pressing issue. I hope someone can help with that one!!

You can use IOCPConsole to check which SIOC variables are
activated when you use the ATC knobs.
Check also that you also havn't linked the COM1 as ATC when you made the configuration.

Attached are my findings with the IOPConsole results.
Alslo i have the OC house built IDC Pedestal so I do not have to set configurations for the individual panels. I just configure in Oi4fs with Pedestal. So no cross configuration.
I hope I did it right

If you had the COM digits issue during this test and there are no activation of any COM related variables, this looks to be a hardware issue in the Pedestal.

I would guess interferens in a cable, the connectors or the IDC card.

Thx Roar
I am going to contact OC for some further help. I think your observation is very logical that this may be a hardware issue.
On a lighter note, why do I have tiller input from the IOPConsole even though I do not have any OC tiller connections.
