In ServInfo, you have the list with all the controllers available. If you are, say, in ZTL (Atlanta Center) airspace, and look for the controller, the information should be in its ATIS. By clicking on the name, inside ServInfo, the information should pop up. Then you go, open up your AVC, type or paste in the address (eg: rw.avsim.net/ztl_v_ctr) and click "Connect". If you are using DVAs modded panels, you are going to have a lil button with two dots, that one of them should be lighted when ATC is near you. Click on that button and a console will display the ATC in "range". Select the ATC you want like... ZTL_V_CTR 133.9 (just an example) and then at then click "Tune". You'll see, that in the Info shown in that lil console, info about the Controller should appear. Name and controlled airspace. Also, if voice enabled controller, a sign would appear saying: [on voice].
Click tune, and automatically AVC will boot up and connect you.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

On the contrary, AVC Tuner requires you to manually tune the frequency. The difference is that with AVC Tuner, you use your normal COM1 radio knobs to tune the frequency, and AVC Tuner automatically requests the controller's ATIS and extracts the voice server/room and tunes it via AVC.
The fastest way is to just right click the squawkbox window, choose ATC directory, then double click the controller you want. This will request his ATIS, and squawkbox will extract the voice server/room and tune AVC.
If you want realism, use AVC Tuner ... although I've heard it can be pretty buggy. Once SB3 is ready, we'll all be dialing up controllers using our radio panel, so using AVC Tuner now is a decent way to get ready for that.
