Garmin APOLLO GX65 - Manual (Page 77)

Tuned
Station
When your Apollo GX is connected to and configured
to communicate with an Apollo SL30 Nav/Comm,
your Apollo GX will provide information about the
VOR or Localizer tuned by the SL30. The Apollo
SL30 with SW version 1.2, or later, sends the Tuned
Station information once every second. Earlier
versions of the SL30 only sends data when the
frequency is changed. If the Apollo GX shows a
different frequency than is shown on the SL30, press
the
F/F key on the SL30 to synchronize the units.
Reach the Tuned Station display, as shown below, by
pressing
NAV and turning the LARGE knob. The tuned
station identifier and its frequency are shown, as well
as the distance to it from your present position and
your current ground speed. The Distance, Speed, and
Time to waypoint information is sent by the Apollo
GX for display on your Apollo SL30. The pilot
should verify the station identification prior to
navigation use.

Tuning to a VOR
The selected VOR frequency on the SL30 is sent to
your Apollo GX. The Apollo GX searches its database
for a unique identifier for that frequency within 200
nm of your position. If a unique match is found, the
selected VOR identifier, frequency, the distance from
your present position, and your ground speed are
shown on the Apollo GX display. The Apollo GX will
send Distance, Speed, and Time to waypoint
information to the SL30. If no frequency is found, or
two or more are found, within 200 nm, no
information will be displayed. All VORs are utilized,
even those without TACAN or DME. Once a VOR is
identified it will continue to be tracked even beyond
200 nm.
