The GPSMAP 396 can also output frequency data to a Garmin aviation

radio. Currently the two models supported are the SL30 nav/comm and

the SL40 comm. Refer to

page 158

for wiring information.

CaUtion: This interface does not have an FAA installation

airworthiness approval. If any abnormalities with SL30/40

tuning or operation are encountered, disconnect the GPSMAP

396 from the SL30/40 tuning interface.

To configure the VHF comm output:

1. Press

MENU twice. The Main Menu appears.

2. Highlight the

Setup tab.

3. Use the

ROCKER to select the Interface sub tab.

4. Highlight the

Serial Data Format field and use the ROCKER

to select

TIS In/NMEA & VHF Out or Aviation In/NMEA &

VHF out. These comm modes send both NMEA data and

VHF frequency information.

The following features are now available on the radio:

Remote frequency lists for departure, enroute, and arrival airports
Nearest VOR frequencies (SL30 only)

notE: See your SL30/40 User’s Guide regarding information

on accessing remote frequency lists.

You can also use the GPSMAP 396 to directly tune a standby

frequency in the radio by using the Comm tab when reviewing an

airport.

To select a standby comm frequency:

1. Use the map pointer or the

NRST key to select an airport.

2. Highlight the

Comm sub tab.

3. Select a comm frequency, and press

ENTER. The frequency is

now tuned in the standby slot on the radio.

If the comm frequency has a restriction, the restriction page has a

tune button, which performs the same function.
