As explained above, you can access this Screen from Screen 39 by placing the joystick
pointer over a VOR or NDB icon and pressing Key 4, MORE INFO. Full details of the
Beacon are listed, type, frequency and ident. The fourth line in the box is a visual
representation of the Morse ident and if you are one of those pilots whose knowledge of
Morse is less than perfect, all you have to do is press Key 2, IDENT. The unit will then
sound the correct ident (on its internal bleeper and on the external alarm, if this is switched
on). You can then compare this to the ident you are hearing over the radio to verify that
you are indeed tuned to the beacon you want.
To initiate a goto for the chosen Beacon (VOR or NDB) all you have to do is press Key 5,
labelled DIRECT TO. To return to the Map of Screen 39 you should press Key 1, PREV
PAGE. Alternatively, the unit gives you 30 seconds to read what you require and then
automatically returns to Screen 39.
Pressing Key 5, DIRECT TO, in Map Mode when the joystick is not active, can also access
this Screen. Allowing you to call up the item of interest from the either the VOR’s or NDB’s
database as if you were selecting it for a DIRECT TO, although if the screen is accessed
in this manner the map is not displayed.
