Jepp Frequency Question

[meritflyer]

On the frequency box sometimes there is a "G" after the frequency.

For example it'd say "2.2G". I, along with others, think it means that frequency is guarded - a listen only frequency whereas you'd receive over the navaid. But, if thats the case why is there some that say "2.2R". I was under the impression that the R mean "receive" and you'd listen over the navaid.

Thoughts?

You answered your own question. The R is on VFR charts and G for IFR.

If I'm not mistaken, you'll find Rs on NOS charts, and Gs on Jepp Charts. They mean the same thing, transmit on that frequency, listen on the navaid. I don't think Jepp makes a VFR chart.

True, my mistake for assuming that everyone has the same set up as me. I use Jepp for IFR and of course government issued VFR charts.

Jepp uses the G 'cause the "R" is already taken. "R" means that the facility has RADAR so you can accept RADAR vectors from them. No "R" means accept RADAR vectors at your own peril.
