Why are some frequencies missing (e.g. Bembridge 123.250, Lower Upham - Winchester (123.050) and some listed as an obscure unused frequency rather than the one that is actually used (e.g. Southampton Radar is listed as 128.850 but in 15 years I have never spoken to them on any frequency except 120.225).

There may be more.

128.850 is Southampton Radar/Approach working the CTR

120.225 is Solent Radar/Approach working the CTA


See http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/299/SOLENT%20GUIDE.pdf

So it depends upon where you are at the moment and what your intentions are as to which of the 2 services is best suited to your requirements.

Yes, I get that, but why is the 122.20 frequency not available on Skydemon? In most instances it's the one you need.

And why is Bembridge simply not available at all.

Perhaps because the frequency isn't 122.20 rather 120.225

On my SD printout from the Print Centre I have both frequencies (120.225 & 128.850) listed.

Also, I get the Bembridge frequency reported on the printout when flying to Bembridge.

Not sure what is going on there!

Bembridge appears for me, on the approach information screen and on the Plog printout. According to other websites, Lower Upham is Safetycom - 135.475.

The correct frequencies for Southampton are:
  • Tower 118.200
  • Approach 128.850
  • Solent Radar 120.225
and these appear exactly the same on Sky Demon.
