Hello Dave Ford, John Stark is operating on hearsay, gossip, and rumor. I
encountered this same "it is not possible" information when I was having my
panel made and found it to be untrue.
My panel, built by David Buckwalter of Avionics Systems, consists of a GNS
430, an SL-30, and a GI 106A. I use a Northern Airborne RS 16-001 data
switch to connect the three of them. I shift between the GNS 430 and the
SL-30 with a lighted push button switch. One half labeled GNS 430 and the
other half labeled SL-30. Every push of the switch cycles from one to the
other.
On the GI 106A there are three lights: NAV, VOR/LOC, and GPS. When the NAV
light is lit I am feeding the CDI from the SL-30. When either the VOR/LOC or
GPS light is lit I am feeding the CDI from the GNS 430. To shift between
VOR/LOC or GPS I push the CDI button on the face of the GNS 430.
Everything works perfectly (Thanks, David). When flying ILS approaches I
frequently use the SL-30 set up on the localizer and glidescope and use the
GNS 430 for mileage and big picture information.
If you would like I'll provide you the pin to pin connection information off
list. You might also call David Buckwalter at Avionics Systems
(888-833-5487) with any questions that you may have.
OC
PS: The SL-30 is a great choice -- you will love it.
