This message is used to set the active VOR or Localizer frequency as well as the receiver 
operating function. The SL30 can detect if the supplied frequency corresponds to a VOR or a 
Localizer channel, so this command will work for both types of NAV aids. 
 
Message format: 
“V” ................ Message class.  This is a VHF NAV message. 
“27” ............... Message identifier. 
mk.................. Active VOR/LOC frequency: 
m = desired frequency in MHz in hexadecimal, where m = desired 
frequency - 30h, with desired frequency in range of 108 to 117 MHz. 
k = desired frequency in kHz, where k = (desired frequency / 25 kHz) + 
30h, with desired frequency in range of 000 to 950 kHz in 50 kHz steps, or 
the even numbers from 30h to 56h. 
a..................... Receiver function: N = normal; M = monitor; 0 = unchanged. 
 
Example message: 
 $PMRRV27E4N<chksm><CR><LF> 
 
This example command would set the active VOR frequency to 117.100 MHz. This can be 
interpreted by noting that the ASCII ‘E’ corresponds with 45h, +30h = 75h, converted to decimal 
equals 117 for the MHz portion of the command. The kHz portion converts ASCII ‘4’ to 34h, -
30h = 4h, x25 kHz steps = 100 kHz.  This command would also set the receiver function to 
normal, leaving the standby channel inactive. 
 
Note: The SL30 will check input frequencies for validity.  An RS-232 serial error message 
output will be generated if the frequency is invalid.
