Explanation

The DFW Converging ILS RWY 36L chart lists Regional Approach 118.425, DFW Tower 126.55/127.5 East and 124.15/134.9 West, and Ground 121.65/121.8 East and 121.85 West. Runway 36L is on the west side of DFW, so the set is 118.425 approach, 124.15 tower and 121.85 ground. 128.25 is clearance delivery and 119.05 does not appear on the chart.
