possibly so

I may be a bit naive, I have only been flying a tad over 20 years and, until recently, VFR.
But (and I'm agreeing with Chucles a bit now) I usually only listen on the radio and squark when things get 5 mileish.
So, that said I'd probably prefer to see area freqs on V-Charts. I DETEST the ERSA!!! Bulky and only 1/20th as useful as the AOPA AFD!!!! I don't want to be constantly fishing this BRICK outa my bag on the back seat and looking through it WHEN I SHOULD BE LOOKING OUTSIDE!!!
I am baffled as to why App has gone from said charts. Tell me exaulted and un-naive ATCers, won't that stuff things up more 'on the airbands'???
(Prolly OK for those of you swanning it in Cbr, Coffs and Hamilton Is, but what about the boys and gals in Cairns???).
Edited to say ... Icarus, you show me somewhere with high traffic density where the LSALT is below 3000'. Otherwise you is on the CTAF and there should be comms (even without the freqs, which I query above).
