If you set the runway length too high or exclude many runway surfaces, you may not be alerted to a nearby airport that otherwise would be listed. Viewing Communication Frequencies The Nearest Pages list up to five nearest flight service station (FSS) and air route traffic control center (ARTCC) points of communication. The closest communication point-along with frequency(s), bearing to and distance-is shown first, with additional points available when selected. For duplex operation, the corresponding VOR is listed (by identifier) and the transmit and receive frequencies are denoted by a TX and RX respectively. Any-shows any runway, regardless of surface type. Hard Only-shows only runways with a concrete, asphalt or similar surface. Hard or Soft-shows all runways except water landing facilities. Water Only-shows only water landing facilities. Minimum Runway Length-allows you to enter a specific length for the shortest runway allowed. Communications Frequencies Page 26 96/96C Owner's Manual

Viewing Communication Frequencies
The Nearest Pages list up to five nearest flight service
station (FSS) and air route traffic control center
(ARTCC) points of communication. The closest
communication point—along with frequency(s),
bearing to and distance—is shown first, with
additional points available when selected. For duplex
operation, the corresponding VOR is listed (by
identifier) and the transmit and receive frequencies are
denoted by a TX and RX respectively.
