VLOC Ident Window

Directly below the VLOC Tuning 

Window is a VLOC Ident Window 
(default setting). When the GNS 
530W is tuned to a nearby VOR, the 
VLOC Ident Window displays the 
Morse code identifier of the selected 

station, the radial from the VOR and the distance from 
the VOR. When tuned to a nearby localizer, the VLOC 
Ident window displays the identifier, associated airport 
and runway. The VLOC Ident Window can be replaced 
with traffic information or configurable data fields. 

Auto-Tuning

A frequency may also be quickly selected from the 

database by simply highlighting the desired frequency 
on the Waypoint VOR Page or the Nearest VOR Page 
and pressing ENT. Once a frequency is selected in 
the standby field, it may be transferred to the active 
frequency by pressing the VLOC flip-flop key. (Auto-
tuning can also be performed from VLOC frequencies 
listed on the NAVCOM, Airport Frequency, and Near-
est Flight Service Station pages.)
