When looking at a VOR navaid box on an enroute chart, and it says the
FSS station frequency on top of the box, such as 122.1R, does that
mean receive only for them on that frequency or receive only for the
pilot? Does the pilot listen on the VOR and transmit on 122.1
(receive only for them)?



It becomes pretty obvious when you consider the equipment in the
airplane: The VOR receiver in the airplane receives in the range of
108.00 to 123.95 and there is nothing in the airplane that transmits on
those frequencies. I.e. you cannot transmit on a VOR frequency. Think
about it: if you could, it would disrupt the NAV for other aircraft.

My bad, that should have been 108.00 to 117.95. The VHF radios go from
118.00 to 135.95
