I read the that garmin 530 anticipates the COM frequencies you need and
loads them into an internal Com radio. That is a really nice feature.
Does the Garmin 430 do this? Or can the 430 combination accomplish the
same thing by interfacing to standard radios?

It's smart. ;-) It knows where you are and it knows your destination and it knows the
frequencies of those places.
