That’s probably because for VFR outside controlled airspace the call sign is ‘Information’. That's why I'm talking about VFR inside controlled airspace.

In German the DFS have encouraged us NOT to list the radar frequency against controlled airspace as they want you to contact the relevant FIS first (for which we provide the frequency) who will give you the appropriate frequency to gain access to the controlled airspace.

Ah, ok. Thank You for the Information. It's a pity because who would contact radar initially VFR? But if they think... It would be even a much greater help i. e. in Italy, where you have to change frequency sometimes every couple of minutes.

Basically most Radar frequencies (also german) are in SkyDemon if they are responsible over a CTR or CTA. Then they are listed in „Whats here?“. Also Munich Radar can be found, but not in its area, but only if tapping on Munich Airfield. That is the Problem: Milano Radar is over Verona CTR – Treviso Radar is over Treviso CTR. Padova is in between, but has no special Airfield, that would list its Frequency, as even Padova Airfield is under Treviso Radar. The Advance to have all local Frequencies in the RADIO-Tab would be to check, if understood correct. Italian English is special...

By contract, the FIS we do have geographical coverage for. Where are you getting the information about where to use this frequency?
