Mark,
the SL-30 has not only a standby frequency, on the NAV side the crosspointer
function is just superb, you track to the primary VOR and you have the
standby frequency used as a crosspointer to your track, read the manual
(should be online or I can send it to you).
It's just a unbelievable superb piece of avionics!!
If you look at a cheaper one and add the functionality of GS and so on, you
will have the same price.
BTW BMA, did they finally solve their problem from last spring (unstable
gyro)??
Kind regards
Werner (Dynon EFIS equiped soon)

I am also putting the SL-30 in with a BMA Efis One. For many of the reasons that
have been discussed including formation flying. I am installing a second UPS
radio as backup as I've found the handheld is not an option in my Nanchang
CJ due to noise.

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

Mark,
I'm using the SL30 with the EFIS One because of the three-wire (only!)
serial interconnect between it and the EFIS One. This setup offers full HSI
functionality. The SL30 also includes an intercom. I got a good price from
Aircraft Spruce, $2,975.00.
Regards,

Thanks for the thoughts on the SL-30 and XCOM. I think I'm sold on the SL-30 despite
the price for a number of reasons:
Ability to monitor both COMM & NAV standby frequencies.
Built in OBS/CDI display.
2-way serial interface (plus the effort that Blue Mountain has done for integration).
Slimline size & light weight.
Now does anyone need a couple of newly reconditioned, yellow-tagged NARCO MK-12D's?
(Actually one is a D+ with LOC/GS and the other is a D).
