Standard service volume

AIM 1-1-8 talks about Navaid standard service volume. It lists different SSVs for different types of VORs (ie. terminal, low altitude, etc.). My question is how do I know what kind I’m dealing with.

I’m sure FF has a feature for it but I use Airnav for that. Just select navaid and put in the ID.

didn't even think about airnav, but that works great. I haven't found it in FF outside of the digital chart supplement pages.
