But I was addressing Dick's point about the UK. Why don't you just turn the VHF off when clear of a CTAF or BA? Then you don't have to care what frequency has to be tuned.
True. Same as the USA where they do exactly that. I guess the culture in Oz is that many believe that a frequency should be monitored in the name of good airmanship. I guess if that is the case then the selection of that frequency should be simple and standardised so as to gain maximum benefit from not having the music on. The MULTICOM fills that role when operating below 2000 or 3000ft agl. Like it or not, there will always be noradio aircraft about, hence it is better value to look out rather than play with the iPad......
