All true, except that none of those references actually specify that

It may be obvious once you know it, but until then it is a question
almost every pilot faces-- hopefully not at the instant that he really
needs to know it, because at that point it's almost impossible to find
it!

I just looked at BTY VOR in a remote area of western Nevada. The

frequency is 114.7. Over the primary box is "122.1R." How could that
be confusing for a properly trained student pilot?


I guess it depends on who is "Receiving" the pilot or FSS. In anycase,
the comm radio won't reach 114.7 so the pilot will likely figure that
something is wrong.

If it had a graphic of me on the chart instead of the VOR then it could
be confusing. ;-)
