This message is used to set the active VOR or Localizer frequency as well as the receiver
operating function. The SL30 can detect if the supplied frequency corresponds to a VOR or a
Localizer channel, so this command will work for both types of NAV aids.
Message format:
"V" ................ Message class. This is a VHF NAV message.
"27" ............... Message identifier.
mk.................. Active VOR/LOC frequency:
a ..................... Receiver function: N = normal; M = monitor; 0 = unchanged.
Example message:
$PMRRV27E4N<chksm><CR><LF>
This example command would set the active VOR frequency to 117.100 MHz. This can be
interpreted by noting that the ASCII 'E' corresponds with 45h, +30h = 75h, converted to decimal
equals 117 for the MHz portion of the command. The kHz portion converts ASCII '4' to 34h, -
30h = 4h, x25 kHz steps = 100 kHz. This command would also set the receiver function to
normal, leaving the standby channel inactive.
Note: The SL30 will check input frequencies for validity. An RS-232 serial error message
output will be generated if the frequency is invalid.
