Selecting frequencies
Regardless of “direct frequency” or “flip/flop frequency” mode, setting a frequency is done by
pressing the MHZ/KHZ/CH button until the desired entry you want to change is flashing on the
display: Example “set MHZ”:

display: Example “set MHZ”:
While the desired entry is flashing, you can change the number using the up and down arrow
buttons.
Note: KHZ rolls over without changing the MHZ value. If 50 Khz steps are used, pressing the
up arrow button will change from a frequency display of 124.95 to 124.00. 124.00 with
pressing the down button will change to 124.95. This may be used to speed up KHZ
selection.

The channel database
The V10 transceiver contains up to 100 user programmable frequencies, each with name and
function designator using alpha numeric characters.
In addition, a further 10 frequency lists are provided with 20 frequencies each. These may be
set remotely if the system is connected to an EFIS or compatible GPS. Typically, each of
these databases would contain frequencies related to an airport and each of these databases
is identified by the name of the airport. These databases are loaded at runtime from a
compatible EFIS and are lost if power is removed.
If at least one database is loaded, it can be selected as first menu item. If selected it will
replace the internal 100 channel database until it is deselected using the same menu function.
Note that this functionality is available only if the EFIS/GPS uses Garmin SL30 or SL40
communications. MGL Avionics EFIS systems do not use this function as the frequency
selection has moved to the EFIS itself.

Changing channels
Press the MHZ/KHZ/CH button until the word “Channel” appears as shown below. Then you
can select channels using the up and down arrow buttons.
Note: The channel selection will roll over from 100 to 1 or from 1 to 100.
Note: If Airport frequency lists have been uploaded from a compatible EFIS and such a list
has been activated by menu function, only 20 channels will be selectable from the currently
active list (the list size is determined by the SL30 and SL40 communications protocol from 1
to 20 entries).
