Airport / Station Type Reverse-Lookup
When a frequency is manually tuned, SkyView will search for the closest known airport within
75 miles that has that frequency and automatically show that airport’s identifier in the
associated airport and station type fields on both the control panel and top bar.
For example, if you manually tune 118.300 near Seattle’s Boeing Field, the associated airport
will be shown as KBFI and the station type as TWR1.
