GPS Receiver User Manual
NOTE: In some areas of the world the KLN 94 provides the location of
the nearest point of communication with a facility providing information
(INF) or radio (RDO) services.
Pressing the G button and selecting the FSS option will display two of
the nearest points of communication with Flight Service Stations. There
will normally be two FSS 1 pages, one for each of the two points of con-
tact. The name of the FSS is at the top of the 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 fre-
quency 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 communicate with
an FSS by transmitting on 122.10
MHz and listening on the VOR fre-
quency. In cases like this, the FSS 1
page displays the frequencies to use
for transmit and receive and also the
name of the VOR through which you
are communicating (figure 3-92).
The frequencies displayed on the nearest FSS page are QuickTune
TM
fre-
quencies. When the cursor is positioned over a frequency displayed on
this page and the F button is pressed, the frequency is automatically
inserted into the standby window of a Bendix/King KX 155A or KX 165A
Nav/Comm. (QuickTune
TM
must be enabled in the installation for this to be
operational). QuickTune
TM
is described in section 3.15.
3.9.4. VIEWING THE NEAREST CENTER FREQUENCIES
The KLN 94 also stores in its database the low altitude transmitter loca-
tions of each of the ARTCC “Centers”. The KLN 94 determines the proper
Center to contact and the appropriate frequencies to use for the aircraft’s
present position. Pressing the G button and selecting the CTR option
will display this information to you (figure 3-93). Next time you wish to
obtain VFR flight following or com-
municate with Center for any reason,
you have a quick way to get a fre-
quency for establishing contact!
Appendix D contains a listing of
Center abbreviations used on the
CTR page.
NOTE: Frequencies for Area Control Centers are displayed on the CTR
page for some areas of the world.
