Hi!

Since 6.0 is now out there we officially support the TNP airspace file format. 
I haven't yet heard of that radio frequency field though. Could you provide us 
with some more information about that?!

I guess it would be best to open a ticket on trac if anyone would want us to 
implement it, so that we don't forget ;)

Adding a frequency field to the open air format isn't as easy as it sounds. The 
problem is that the people providing the open air file need to be aware of such 
a feature and use it. Also the addition of stuff to that file format standard 
is not within our hands... The only thing we could do is support a 
non-standard, but I don't really like that idea.
