What about supporting (with appropriate devices) the Garmin SL-40 protocol, which is able to set frequency/memory of the radio getting the data form the GPS system?

I‌'ve tested this feature on seeral different acft, and I think it is an extremely interesting feature: one time you get acquainted to it, it's hard to come back to setup frequencies by hand (and sometimes also setting the wrong ones...)

N‌ot only Garmin system does support this feature: for example the Trig radios (made in UK...) may be driven  ‌‌‌in such way.

W‌hat do you think about?

That's great. We've seen a few of these come on to the market in the last month since we introduced support for transferring frequencies. No need to send us one, but by all means come and show us at Friedrichshafen.

Ok, I will not be at Friedrichshafen but you will see it sooner or later somewhere.

As far as I know this is the first device with firmware application written specific for this, as I mentioned in August..
As far as I know this is the first device with the electronics and PCB designed specific for this.
As far as I know this is the first device designed to handle the harsh environment in an aircraft.

I of course think it is superior, for good reasons ;-)

Next week the RS422 version will be available too.

It is based nrf52832 with Nordic semiconductors Bluetooth stack and Zephyr RTOS and molded in urethane to protect from environment. It can have fw updated via Bluetooth.
