Anyone have both of these? I just added the SL-40 and can't seem to find where and how to make the frequencies from the GX-55 database get to the REM(ote) list of the SL-40. Looks like it should work, but I sure can't find it in the manuals. Is this supposed to work? Thanks for the help. Ross...

A few months I ran my idea of acquiring a Commander 114/115. As was pointed out to me, the numbers historically sold and the companies current financial plight makes future parts availability questionable. After some digging and evaluation, I am now considering bypassing my 2nd choice as well,...

I am looking to purchase my first plane, and would like an early 80s Cessna 152. How much should I consider the fair market price for one in descent shape, that is ready to fly? Also, any idea how much insurance would be for a C152. I only have around 50 hours, a very new pilot, and I love...

Well, it finally happened even after my avionics shop and I were assured BEFORE I put the UPS stack in. The GX series is no more. They published some letter that I can't find online to say no more. Sad. Still, parts and service should be around for ten years..... Ray

My '66 Cherokee 180C currently has a T12C ADF. Even though it has analog tuning, the previous owner installed a Davitron digital frequency read out so it's not as bad to tune as you'd think. Anyway, it now longer points to the NDB (actually the needle never moves) but can successfully tune am...
