If you're flying a GPS approach at your primary airport, the alternate

Thank you for saving me looking this up However, I get the
impression that Americans worry about this detail about as much as
Europeans worry about carrying an ADF when doing NDB approaches


Also note that this is a consideration for the selection of the
airport as an alternate. Once you get to the airport, you land
any which way you want (using GPS, etc.).
