  Bottom line- photons have a wavelength which varies with the
relative velocity of the receiver WRT the sender of the photon. It
is anthopomorphic thinking to suggest that a photon has a frequency.
We -the anthro's, began reciving radio signals from radio stations
by turning a dial which brushed along a long coil of wire shortening
or lengthening the active length of the coil in the circuit. The
shorter the length the higher the frequency and the longer the coil
length the lower the frequency of the circuit. The
 radio station amplifies it's analagous cicuit and broadcasts it out
to the radio receivers. As long as the receiver is tuned to the same
frequency photons will be absorbed into the circuit and amplified
and translated into sound.

An electron doesn't send out a wave of light ,it sends out discreet
photons of a particular wavelength. Electrons in a radio circuit are
sending a particular wavelength of light. -I'm talking pre-FM radio,
and yes fortunately radio stations are not entirely discreet or
reception would require more fidelity than we are capable of.
Generally this is how it works.

   The only way we can capture photons of a particular wavelength is
to have circuits with a frequency analagous to this wavelength. If
you stop thinking of discreet photons having a frequency you will
have a better chance of understanding what a photon is. Back to the
radio -at a radio station's frequency -it is the  frequency of the
photons received that varies both the volume and frequency of the
sound the radio produces.
