I thought it was possible to switch inputs to a CDI from a GPS or VOR receiver.
Below is communication with Stark Avionics saying it's not possible with the
SL30.  Anyone with insight if this is correct?

John,

I'll be integrating a GNC300XL and GI-106 with the SL-30.

That can't be done. The Sl-30 can not share a CDI with the Gnc-300xl. The
OBS legs of the Sl-30 can't go through a relay of any type.  John

John,
From my understanding, others have done just that switching the inputs to
the OBS via dpdt switch.  Is that what you are referring to?
Dave

You can switch everything except the OBS. The Sl-30 looses its calibration
each time you switch and then it requires you to go through the whole
calibration procedure again.

Dave -

That is the same information that John Stark provided to me when we  
discussed our stack. It has something to to with the circuitry internal to  
the SL-30. That's all I remember.

Bob designed such a relay and Eric Jones has them for sale, as I recall.  
You might get one and see if it works. We'd all like to know.
