| Subject: | SL-30 vs. others |
--> Avionics-List message posted by: "Swaney, Mark NAVAIR" <mark.swaney@navy.mil>
Although the SL-30 has plenty of great features, the price tag seems a bit steep.
Can any of you SL-30 operators out there give me some "selling point" for
going with this box (other than the slimline design)? Here's my real dilemma:
I already have 2 good NAVCOMMS (1 with LOC/GS). I think if I sold those I could
almost afford a single SL-30. Reliability is a concern, going from 2 to 1.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Mark Swaney
P.S. So far my primary Nav will be the BMA EFIS/1

Mark
I was buying new and not replacing anything, so my reasoning
might be a little different. I decided on the SL-30 because I wanted
only one Nav radio and the SL-30 allows you to monitor the
standby freq like having another radio. I will use a handheld for a
backup in the event of total failure. My logic for what it's worth.

Skipper,
I don't have one of these radios, but I've gone over the thought process for
a while and spoken to folks in the course of a buying decision. I think the advantage
is in having one radio that allows you to monitor the standby freq as
discussed below. This is handy for getting ATIS and talking to FSS and the like,
but is most useful when flying formation. Depending on whether you're flying
wing or lead, you've either got ATC in the primary freq (talk and listen)
and your formation freq in the standby (listen only), or the reverse. You can
swap primary and secondary with one switch actuation, which you can wire to
your stick if desired. In my RV-4 or your Rocket, panel space and weight are
issues, so the SL-30 / SL-40 function will be a real help.
My 2 cents.
V/R,
Pedro

small package.
I wonder how it performs... anyone out there have one?
