Garmin recently announced its new VHF navcomm radios that nicely complement its line of compact touchscreen GPS navigators. Sporting a crisp, high-resolution display, they are nicely equipped with a variety of handy features and a smart feature set. It was showing the radio off at Sun ‘n Fun 2024 in Florida and Kitplanes contributor Larry Anglisano got a product tour from Garmin’s Jim Alpiser.
In Case You Missed It
Classic Caretaker
Easy to build, easy to fly...and affordable too. No wonder the Fly Baby remains popular decades after the prototype debuted.
The old SL-30 had a wonderful NAV radio monitor function that would display radial from the standby NAV frequency while the primary frequency would do ILS or VOR. Very handy back when crossing radials were commonly used.
