But don't turn down radio 1 and then forget and wonder why you aren't getting a response to your calls. Not that I have personally done thatOr keep ATC on radio one and check with FSS on Radio 2.

Awesome...that worked. Except I could not get a hold of FSS on any frequency
I did get some excellent pics along the way. Which plane is mine?

Do you how to receive FSS on a VOR while transmitting on 122.1?
Looks like KMEI
I fly in there often and have the same type photoGenius!
Nope...do tell! plane not equipped with VOR, in case that matters
Just got private on Monday. This technique never came upReally, you don't know this? Are you a student, Private?
You transmit on 122.1 to FSS, say you're listening ABC VOR, and FSS transmits on the ABC VOR frequency. Remember to turn the volume up on the VOR.
I also don’t think my radio can tune to two stations at once...............
For what it’s worth, I have never done this and never had an opportunity as all the VORs in my area have the underlines that indicate they don’t work that way. The OP doesn’t have a VOR receiver apparently. It’s totally conceivable that someone would be able to pass the private pilot written and practical tests without needing to learn how to use that feature of a VOR.Really, you don't know this?

If his plane is the CT in the picture, there’s a good chance it has a single comm radio and a Garmin 696 or similar GPS. Many of them have Dynon glass cockpits but I doubt many, or any, are equipped with a full IFR stack. They’re great, fun little planes.So no comm/nav? Just GPS? No VOR head?

Dad had a CTSW and its comm radio had a standby listen festure, where you tune in the standby frequency and can listen on it while keeping the primary frequency tuned in and active. Check if yours has that.I also don’t think my radio can tune to two stations at once...............
True. I like knowing how it works. And I do listen to HIWAS on our non-voice VORs. But I think it’s easier for most people to just use one of the comm frequencies specified for FSS at the VOR station, and in my experience it’s rare to find one that doesn’t have at least one comm frequency specified.Yes I realize that. Really a shame though as its a handy feature.
