Kevin, I think your solution is a good one. I too had a
nav/com with twin VOR and ILS. Fun to play with but not
much practical use until EASA allow IFR in permit aircraft
or all your GPSs pack up and you get caught in IFR way
---From anywhere (unlikely unless you plan to fly to Oz -
when it has happened to nearly all going through the
tropical zone). Mine was an SL30, whose direct Garmin
replacement turns out to be around 1cm fatter. This led me
to totally redesigning and rewiring most of my panel, an
ongoing process that has taken longer than the original
panel fit! With wisdom of hindsight it would probably have
been smarter to keep the SL30 for Nav & back up com and
use a Trig for standard com. I have incidentally got a
spare SL30 in perfect working order that I would be happy
to part with to a good home for a modest donation to my
favourite charity. Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ
