    --> Avionics-List message posted by: <bakerocb@cox.net> 5/17/2006 Responding to an AeroElectric-List message previously posted by: "Brinker" <brinker@cox-internet.com> Hello Again Randy, I have a single GI-106A being fed selectively by either a Garmin GNS 430 or an SL-30. The change over between the two sources is done by a split lighted push button switch that activates a Northern Airborne Technologies RS 16-001 Data Switch. Each push of the push button switch changes the lighted portion of the push button switch and causes a shift from one navigation source to the other. The GI-106A has three light indications on its face. "NAV" is lighted when the SL-30 is feeding the CDI. "GPS" is lighted when the GPS portion of the GNS 430 is feeding the CDI. "VLOC" is lighted when the VOR or localizer portion of the GNS 430 is feeding the CDI. There is no back course light or indication on the GI-106A. The SL-30 does have both a BC selection and an indication on the display on the box itself. As I wrote previously I normally use the SL-30 to feed the external CDI for VOR, Localizer, or ILS approaches and the GNS 430 to provide big picture situational awareness. I am very pleased with this equipment and feel that the SL-30 is one of the most capable pieces of avionics gear in existence.

I have sent Mid Cont. an email so maybe I can get to the bottom of this. I would like to order a cdi/gs/loc and figured one of these 2 would be my best bet since Im' also going with a sl30. And they are priced close. Randy
