page. There can be from one to
three frequencies included for a point
of contact (figure 3-91). Remember
that in the U.S. the frequency 122.00
MHz is used for “Flight Watch” and
the frequency 123.60 MHz is used for
Aeronautical Advisory Service. As
you know, it is often possible to com-
municate with an FSS by transmitting
on 122.10 MHz and listening on the
VOR frequency. In cases like this,
the FSS 1 page displays the frequen-
cies to use for transmit and receive
and also the name of the VOR
through which you are communicat-

ing (figure 3-92).

NOTE: You may use QuickTune™ to transfer an FSS frequency to
the standby frequency in the COMM transceiver by turning on the
cursor (

B

), selecting the desired frequency, and pressing

F

.

3.8.4. Viewing the Nearest Center Frequencies

The KLX 135A also stores in its data base the low altitude bound-
aries of each of the ARTCC “Centers”. The KLX 135A determines
the proper Center to contact and the appropriate frequencies to use
for the aircraft’s present position. Pressing the

C

and

F

buttons

and selecting the CTR option will
display this information to you (figure
3-93). Next time you wish to obtain
VFR flight following or communicate
with Center for any reason, you have
a quick way to get a frequency for
establishing contact!

Appendix D

contains a listing of Center abbreviations used on the CTR page.

NOTE: You may use QuickTune™ to transfer an ARTCC/FIR fre-
quency to the standby frequency in the COMM transceiver by turning
on the cursor (

B

), selecting the desired frequency, and pressing

F

.

NOTE: Frequencies for Area Control Centers are displayed on the
CTR page for some areas of the world.
