Obviously I'm not going to try to "log on" to ACARS on final.

Our VHF 3 is on the ACARS DATA, and our VHF 2 is on 121.5. So unless ATC transmit on 121.5 (ATC can't do that here) and it is being monitored (see Tangoalpha's post above), the message isn't going to get through.

What's your radio setup, Mana?
