Why does this type of setup even exist? From what I understood based on the very short explanation the DPE provided, is that the actual FSS or RCO is located pretty far from this location, so transmitting on 122.1 actually transmits to the co-located VOR, where the signal is then diverted to FSS via a landline. I didn't have enough time to stop and talk to the DPE afterwards about this, but it sparked my curiosity none the less. However, just 20 miles away at Red Bluff (KRBL) is a normal FSS frequency on which you can receive and transmit. Here at Redding (KRDD) we have a frequency to contact FSS on 122.1R and receive on RDD VOR/DME on 108.4.

Before I say what it is, please note that the question asked was not intended to be honestly answered by my student, the DPE just wanted to show him something new and didn't expect the student to really know this.Īnyway, he asked the student why any FSS would split up their frequencies (using one to receive while transmitting on the VOR). I've always known how to utilize the whole 122.1R frequency, but I myself honestly never understood the purpose of this. So lately I observed one of my student's practical tests with their DPE (private pilot oral), and he got asked a question that made me wonder.
