--> Avionics-List message posted by: "Mark Taylor" <mtaylo17@msn.com>

Friends,

I have a Blue Mountain EFIS 1 which I'll be interfacing with an Apollo 
SL-30. On th e SL-30, I have to set the output to Serial, instead of 
resolver, so it can talk to EFIS 1. EFIS 1 will then perform as the display 
head for VOR, LOC & G/S, and I can set OBS from EFIS 1, and also radio 
frequecies from a the database. Pretty cool.

However, I would like to have a second CDI, just in case of EFIS failure. I 
asked the questoin of Blue Mountain if I can do this, and they said yes, but 
I wouldn't be able to use the resolver inputs to the SL-30 form the CDI.

My question is (finally) what exactly will I be losing doing this? What is a 
resolver anyhow?!

I already have the EFIS and SL-30, SL-70 and an Apollo annunciator to go 
with the GX-60 GPS. I just want to have all my bases covered if it all goes 
belly up.

Thanks in advance!

Mark Taylor

Sounds like a question that the folks at GArmin AT tech support should be 
able to answer or work you thru the solution. If it is the same crew as 
was there before the buyout, they are super helpful.

Cheers,

John
