Getting Started - Garmin SL30 Pilot's Manual

Combining a powerful 760 channel VHF communications transceiver with 200 channel
VOR, Localizer and Glideslope receivers, the SL30 provides a full-functioned navigation
and communications solution in a small footprint at a very affordable price. Besides tradi-
tional Nav/Com features, the SL30 also incorporates workload-reducing functions such as
automatic decoding of the Morse code station identifier for VOR/LOC, most-used frequency
storage in memory, built-in course deviation indicator, and more.
The SL30, the smallest Nav/Com on the market, is loaded with features and functional-
ity. The only Nav/Com with the ability to monitor the standby Com and Nav frequencies,
the SL30 VHF Nav receiver operates from 108 MHz to 117.95 MHz decoding both the VHF
Omni Range and Localizer navigation signals. The built in Glideslope receiver will automati-
cally tune the corresponding glideslope paired frequencies (328 MHz to 335 MHz) when the
localizer is tuned. The SL30 includes the powerful yet efficient 8 watt com transmitter used
in the other SL Slimline and GX avionics.
