It can be helpful to see frequencies down one's track beyond the immediate one if they differ, but if they don't change, why display them?

It presumably doesn't happen unless there are a bunch of controlled airspace sectors ahead all within ten minutes' flying time, all with the same controlling authority. We could certainly add a system where we record each one and suppress ones where all parameters match one that has already been displayed, but is it worth it?

As I said, it's only a minor thing - but if you were doing something to the Radio tab at some point in the future it might be worth a look if to do so was simple.

We could certainly add a system where we record each one and suppress ones where all parameters match one that has already been displayed, but is it worth it? Some follow-up ideas: 1. Many frequencies are linked to a certain airspace. -> Could it be based on declutter settings? If I'm not showing anything above FL75 anyway because I'm bumbling about at 2000ft watching houses or whatever, I don't need to see the frequencies linked to those airspaces either. 2. Extreme example: you fly north of LFPG, in the TMA there are 9 "De Gaulle Approach" frequencies. -> show only one line that becomes like a button, then if press that button it expends to show all frequencies, I can select one (typically when I get a handover) and then the button collapses again and shows only that one frequency I have selected?
