Default Wrong data in Jepp GPS database?

I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back
into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered
it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8
and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next door)
which should have also had 126.4 listed, and found no approach freqs in the
database at all. We called NY on 126.4 as normal, and they answered as
usual, so I assume it's still in use.

Anybody else seen this? I assume it's a problem with the database?


Without going out to the airport, I can't check my CNX-80.
However, my JeppView charts show 126.4 on all the KDXR approaches,
and all the KHPN approaches show 126.4 for the hours 0700-2300.
So the 126.4 didn't get dropped completely from Jeppesen's master database.



That's why it is still required to have a paper version with you and
not rely solely on the CNX-80 database. I have the CNX-80/MX20 system
in one of the planes that I fly and I will not go out without having
my paper ones with me. I have all too often seen reboots on the system
when they were having some software issues with the integrated WSI
weather causing the system to shut down. I have not seen an error
like this yet, but that makes me feel even stronger about keeping my
paper plates clipped on the yoke where they should be.
