I'm aware of several folks that have exactly the same questions/concerns. Thanks. Mark Swaney ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 01:34:31 PM PST US From: "Mark Taylor" Subject: Avionics-List: EFIS 1 and SL-30 --> Avionics-List message posted by: "Mark Taylor" 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
