One of the very useful features of this new unit from UPS Aviation
Technologies is the ability to tune one Nav frequency to a vor,loc/gs
displayed on an external CDI, AND monitor a second VOR at the same time.
The radial for the second VOR can be selected and appears on the SL30
display itself.

So, this unit kills two seagulls with one stone. On the subject of
comms, I'll be flying initially with the SL30 and a hand held. I'll hold
off buying the Apollo GX60 GPS/COM until the GPS side of this unit is
approved for precision approaches.

ps... Just finished building the µENCODER from Rocky Mountain
Instruments. In addition to all its other features, with a couple of
keystrokes you can program a precise airspeed for the gear warning
trigger which will activate a warning light at half second intervals as
well as an audio warning in the headset if you happen to be visually
impaired.
