Narrative:

I piloted from bloomington; in (bmg) to [my destination on a 070 heading.] in the direct line of flight were the restricted areas R-3401B (west side) and R-3401A (east side).I approached restricted area B at 7;500 feet. I used information from my garmin 430W (jeppeson database; expired) and the sectional provided by flyq (current) to determine the altitudes for the -B restricted area were from 14;000 feet-17;999 feet (MOA) and class east from 1;200-9;999 feet.on approaching R-3401A; I consulted the references to find the restricted area R-3401A extended from the surface to 14;000 feet. Prior to entering the R-3401A I turned and proceeded north until north of R-3401A; then resumed a direct heading to [my destination].my only contact with ATC was with the tower on departure from bmg. Throughout the flight I was monitoring 121.5; with the exception of getting the ATIS on arrival at [my destination].on landing I was greeted by the airport manager and asked to call columbus approach. They forwarded a message to me to call indianapolis [center] where I spoke with [someone who] informed me that I had violated restricted airspace in R-3401B (not R-3401A); which he said extended to 1;200 feet. I admitted I had flown through the area at what I believed was a permitted altitude. He noted that I was not monitoring center frequency. I was monitoring 121.5. He seemed surprised that I would be monitoring 121.5 (which is a pilot requirement) and admitted they had made no attempt to contact me on guard frequency. He also said I was in the middle of the R-3401B overlay before they noticed. I understand that airspace is the pilot's responsibility.I'm not sure what the corrective actions would be. Assuming R-3401B does extend to 1;200 feet as the center suggests; I can find no way to extract that information for R-3401B from the electronic sources. R-3401A does appear to report correctly.
