I thought I came across a way to slide out & slide in the side tab (eg. FPL), without using the touchscreen. Is there a way to do that? Also, is there a way to change which preset frequency is the active one (when you have more than one), without using the touchscreen? * Orest |

| You hold the FPL rocker or MAP rocker to open the FPL or MAP data pages. Not sure about the second question. |

Close - just a small typo in that description. You hold the FMS rocker or MAP rocker to open the FPL or MAP data pages. The same action will close the side tab if it were open. As for preset freqs, the only way is to have the physical external toggle switch added. I have one on my yoke. ------------- Steve Jacobson sjacobson@avidyne.com |

Yes, that was it. Thanks. But on the present frequency, I think you are explaining a different issue. I understand you can flip through the various pre-entered frequencies in your defined list, by using an external hardware button. What I was asking about is this, let's say you have the following defined: Active 123.75 Preset1 133.00 Preset2 125.50 ... and Preset1 has the cyan border, meaning 133 will swap with 123.75 if you hit the freq swap button. You can move the cyan border and its action designation to Preset2 by touching Preset2, and then 125.5 will swap for 123.75 with the freq swap button. My questions was, is there a non-touch screen method of achieving the action completed by the bolded "by touching Preset2" above. * Orest |

Oh sorry, now I understand. I was thrown off by the term preset. I see you are talking about "#1 Standby" vs "#2 Standby". No, there is no way to do that without touch. See the bottom entry in the right column on page 1-26 of the PG. ------------- Steve Jacobson sjacobson@avidyne.com |

Rog. Yes, should have used "standby". Ah yes, there it is.
