Narrative:

After being cleared to land on runway 19R, we continued a normal approach and landing on runway 19R. During the landing roll, we never heard any instruction from ATC on where to exit the runway. We knew we had landing traffic behind us, so the PF exited the runway on the closest taxiway which was a reverse high speed. After clearing the runway, we realized we were on the wrong frequency. We then switched back to tower and reported clear of runway 19R. The controller was upset with us stating that we were instructed to exit the runway on the high speed taxiway, and gave us the phone number to tower asked us to call them on a landline. The captain and I briefed the situation and concluded that pilot error on the PNF's part was the reason we missed the radio call. After being cleared to land from tower, the PNF tried to put the ground frequency in the preselect slot on communication #1 and accidentally xferred the active frequency back to approach. We called the tower and explained the situation to him in detail. He seemed understanding, and highly stressed the importance of runway incursion awareness. We are unsure if any further action will be taken.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: CPR BEECH JET INADVERTENTLY SET THE WRONG TWR FREQ PRIOR TO LNDG, RESULTING IN LOST COM WITH THE LCL TWR CTLR. INSTRUCTIONS TO EXIT THE RWY ON THE HIGH SPD TURNOFF FELL ON DEAF EARS.

Narrative: AFTER BEING CLRED TO LAND ON RWY 19R, WE CONTINUED A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG ON RWY 19R. DURING THE LNDG ROLL, WE NEVER HEARD ANY INSTRUCTION FROM ATC ON WHERE TO EXIT THE RWY. WE KNEW WE HAD LNDG TFC BEHIND US, SO THE PF EXITED THE RWY ON THE CLOSEST TXWY WHICH WAS A REVERSE HIGH SPD. AFTER CLRING THE RWY, WE REALIZED WE WERE ON THE WRONG FREQ. WE THEN SWITCHED BACK TO TWR AND RPTED CLR OF RWY 19R. THE CTLR WAS UPSET WITH US STATING THAT WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO EXIT THE RWY ON THE HIGH SPD TXWY, AND GAVE US THE PHONE NUMBER TO TWR ASKED US TO CALL THEM ON A LANDLINE. THE CAPT AND I BRIEFED THE SIT AND CONCLUDED THAT PLT ERROR ON THE PNF'S PART WAS THE REASON WE MISSED THE RADIO CALL. AFTER BEING CLRED TO LAND FROM TWR, THE PNF TRIED TO PUT THE GND FREQ IN THE PRESELECT SLOT ON COM #1 AND ACCIDENTALLY XFERRED THE ACTIVE FREQ BACK TO APCH. WE CALLED THE TWR AND EXPLAINED THE SIT TO HIM IN DETAIL. HE SEEMED UNDERSTANDING, AND HIGHLY STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF RWY INCURSION AWARENESS. WE ARE UNSURE IF ANY FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN.

Cpr beech jet inadvertently set the wrong tower frequency prior to landing, resulting in lost communication with the local tower controller. Instructions to exit the runway on the high speed turnoff fell on deaf ears.
