VHF COMM

The GPSMAP 396 can also output frequency data to a Garmin aviation
radio. Currently the two models supported are the SL30 nav/comm and
the SL40 comm. Refer to page 159
CAUTION: This interface does not have an FAA installation
airworthiness approval. If any abnormalities with SL 30/40
tuning or operation are encountered, disconnect the GPSMAP
396 from the SL 30/40 tuning interface.
To configure the VHF comm output:
1. Press MENU twice. The Main Menu appears.
2. Highlight the Setup tab.
3. Use the ROCKER to select the Interface sub tab.
4. Highlight the Serial Data Format field and use the ROCKER to
select TIS In/NMEA & VHF Out. This comm mode receives TIS
data in and sends out both NMEA data, at 9600 baud, and VHF
frequency tuning information.

The following features are now available on the radio:
• Remote frequency lists for departure, enroute, and arrival airports
• Nearest VOR frequencies (SL30 only)
NOTE: See your SL30/40 User's Guide regarding information
on accessing remote frequency lists.
You can also use the GPSMAP 396 to directly tune a standby
frequency in the radio by using the Comm tab when reviewing an
airport.
To select a standby comm frequency:
1. Use the map pointer or the NRST key to select an airport.
2. Highlight the Comm sub tab.
3. Select a comm frequency, and press ENTER. The frequency is
now tuned in the standby slot on the radio.
If the comm frequency has a restriction, the restriction page has a
Tune button, which performs the same function.
