The GTR 225 and GNC 255 Series units are a family of 6.25" wide, 1.65" tall panel-mounted VHF COM
and NAV/COM radios.
The GTR 225 Series include an airborne VHF communications transceiver. The GTR 225 Series meet the
requirements of the TSOs specified in table 1-10. A summary of system functions is located in table 1-11
and operating instructions are found in GTR 225/GTR 225A/GTR 225B Pilot’s Guide. Differences between
the GTR 225 models are listed in table 1-1.
The GNC 255 Series include all the features of the GTR 225 Series in addition to airborne VOR/localizer
(LOC) and glideslope (G/S) receivers. The GNC 255 Series meet the requirements of the TSOs specified
in table 1-10. A summary of system functions is located in table 1-11 and operating instructions are found
in GNC 255A/GNC 255B Pilot’s Guide. Differences between the GNC 255 models are listed in table 1-1.

Rev. F Page 1-1
CAUTION
The GTR/GNC units have a display that is coated with a special anti-reflective coating
that is very sensitive to waxes and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING
AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to
clean the display using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is
specified as safe for anti-reflective coatings.
CAUTION
The use of ground-based cellular telephones while aircraft are airborne is prohibited by
FCC rules. Due to potential interference with onboard systems, the use of ground-based
cell phones while the aircraft is on the ground is subject to FAA regulation 14 CFR §91.21.
FCC regulation 47 CFR §22.925 prohibits airborne operation of ground-based cellular
telephones installed in or carried aboard aircraft. Ground-based cellular telephones must
not be operated while aircraft are off the ground. When any aircraft leaves the ground, all
ground-based cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. Ground-based
cell phones that are on, even in a monitoring state, can disrupt GPS/SBAS performance.

1.11 GTR/GNC Database
The GTR/GNC has a database of frequencies for airports and VORs. GTR/GNC users update the
frequency database by purchasing database subscription updates from Garmin. The frequency database is
stored internally and uses a USB flash drive to transfer the database into the unit. Refer to the applicable
GTR or GNC pilot's guide, contact Garmin at (866) 739-5687, or go to flyGarmin.com for more
information and instructions.
The GTR/GNC database has no safety effect, and does not claim compliance with RTCA/DO-200A
Standards for Processing Aeronautical Data.
Garmin requests that the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to database information.
These discrepancies could come in the form of an incorrect frequency, incorrectly identified airport, VOR,
or other station, or any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the
ground. Go to flyGarmin.com and select “Aviation Data Error Report.”

Rev. F Page 2-1
3 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
3.1 Introduction
Always follow acceptable avionics installation practices per AC 43.13-1B, AC 43.13-2B, or later FAA
approved revisions of these documents. The communications installation instructions have been prepared
to meet the guidance material defined by AC 20-67B, Airborne VHF Communications Equipment
Installations.
3.2 Antenna Considerations
Considerations for the mounting location of the antennas required for the GTR/GNC is provided in this
section. For mounting the COM and NAV antennas, refer to the aircraft manufacturer’s data.
3.2.1 COM Antenna Location
The GTR/GNC COM antenna should be installed away from all projections, engines and propellers. The
ground plane surface directly below the antenna should be a flat plane over as large an area as possible
(18" square, minimum). The antenna should be mounted a minimum of six feet from any DME or other
COM antennas, and four feet from any ADF sense antennas. The COM antenna should also be mounted as
far apart as practical from the ELT antenna. Some ELTs have exhibited re-radiation problems that cause
interference with other radios, including GPS. This can happen when the COM (GTR/GNC or any other
COM) is transmitting on certain frequencies such as 121.15 or 121.175 MHz, which may cause the ELT
output circuit to oscillate from the signal coming in on the ELT antenna coax.
If simultaneous use of two COM transceivers is desired (split-COM or simul-COM), the COM antennas
should be spaced for maximum isolation. A configuration of one topside antenna and one bottom side
antenna is recommended. The GTR/GNC does not require a transmit interlock, but other COM radios such
as the GNS 530W may require it for split-COM operations.
NOTE
Canadian installations are required to meet Industry Canada specifications for maximum
radiation as documented in Radio Specifications Standard 102 (RSS-102). For more
information about RF exposure and related Canadian regulatory compliance, contact:
Manager, Radio Equipment Standards

Industry Canada
365 Laurier Avenue
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0C8
In accordance with Canadian Radio Specifications Standard 102 (RSS 102), RF field strength
exposure to persons from an antenna connected to this device should be limited to 60V/m for
controlled environment and 28 V/m for uncontrolled environment.

Rev. F Page 3-1
3.2.2 Interference of GPS
On some installations, VHF COM transceivers, Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) antennas, and
Direction Finder (DF) receiver antennas can re-radiate through the GPS antenna. Placement of the GPS
antenna relative to a COM transceiver and COM antenna (including the GTR/GNC COM antenna), ELT
antenna, and DF receiver antenna is critical.
Use the following guidelines, in addition to others in this document, when locating the GTR/GNC and its
antennas.
 Locate the GTR/GNC as far as possible from all GPS antennas
 Locate the COM antenna as far as possible from all GPS antennas
If a COM antenna is found to be the problem, a 1.57542 GHz notch filter (see table 4-3) may be installed in
the VHF COM coax, as close to the COM as possible. This filter is not required for the GTR/GNC
transmitter.
If a COM is found to be radiating, the following can be done:
 Replace or clean VHF COM rack connector to ensure good coax ground
 Place a grounding brace between the GTR/GNC, VHF COM and ground
 Shield the VHF COM wiring harness
3.3 GTR/GNC Mounting Considerations
The GTR/GNC is designed to mount in the avionics stack in the aircraft instrument panel within view and
reach of the pilot. The primary unit location should minimize pilot head movement when transitioning
between looking outside of the cockpit and viewing/operating the GTR/GNC. The location should be such
that the GTR/GNC unit is not blocked by the glare shield on top, or by the throttles, control yoke, etc., on
the bottom. If aircraft has a throw-over yoke, be sure the yoke does not interfere with the GTR/GNC.

Rev. F Page 3-2
3.4 Cabling and Wiring Considerations
Wiring should be installed in accordance with AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11. For dual GTR/GNC unit
installations, care should be taken to ensure separation between wires of redundant systems to reduce the
possibility of loss of navigation due to a single event. When wire separation cannot be achieved, the
following issues should be addressed:.
 It should not be possible for a cable harness to be exposed to wire chafing in a manner that both
units fail simultaneously;
 The cable harness should not be located near flight control cables and controls, high voltage lines
or fuel lines;
 The cable harness should be located in a protected area of the aircraft (e.g., isolated from engine
rotor burst); and
 Do not route cable near high voltage sources.
NOTE
Pigtail lengths should be less than 3.0". Wiring which is required to be shielded must be
shielded per appendix D.
See section 4.4.2 and section 4.5 for connector and tooling information.
See section 4.6 for recommended coax cable.
See appendix D for the appropriate wiring connections to assemble the wiring connector.
Once the cable assemblies have been made, attach the cable connectors to the rear connector plate. After
installing the mounting tube, attach the assembled connector plate. Route the wiring bundle as appropriate.
Use 22 or 24 AWG wire for all connections. For power and ground, use the wire gauge specified in the
interconnect drawing, then 22 AWG for the short length from the splice to the connector. Avoid sharp
bends.
3.5 Air Circulation and Cooling
The GTR/GNC unit meets all requirements without external cooling. However, as with all electronic
equipment, lower operating temperatures extend equipment life.
Units packed tightly in the avionics stack heat each other through radiation, convection, and sometimes by
direct conduction. Even a single unit operates at a much higher temperature in still air than in moving air.
The GTR/GNC has a cooling fan integrated into the chassis to draw forced-air cooling through the unit.
There are inlets along the right side of the GTR/GNC chassis that allow air to flow through the unit. Ensure
that there are no obstructions to the air inlets or fan exhausts. Air should be able to freely flow from the
chassis inlets to the fan outlet on the rear of the unit.
3.6 Compass Safe Distance
After reconfiguring the avionics in the cockpit panel, if the GTR/GNC unit is mounted less than twelve
inches from the compass, recalibrate the compass and make the necessary changes for noting correction
data.

2. Trim the coaxial cable to the desired length and install the coaxial connectors per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
4.7 Equipment Mounting
4.7.1 Rack Installation
Use the dimensions shown in figure C-1 to prepare the mounting holes for the GTR/GNC unit. The
GTR/GNC unit mounting rack may be used as a template for drilling the mounting holes.
1. Install the rack in a rectangular 6.32" x 1.77" hole (or gap between units) in the instrument panel.
The lower-front lip of the rack should be flush with, or extend slightly beyond, the finished aircraft
panel.
NOTE
If the front lip of the mounting rack is behind the surface of the aircraft panel, the
GTR/GNC unit connectors may not fully engage. See figure C-7 for more information.
Ensure that no screw heads or other obstructions prevent the unit from fully engaging in
the rack, see section 6.3. When installing the rack into the instrument panel,deformation
of the rack may make it difficult to install and remove the GTR/GNC unit.
2. Install the rack in the aircraft panel using six #6-32 flat head screws and six self-locking nuts. The
screws are inserted from the inside through the holes in the sides of the rack.
3. To attach the backplate to the rack, align the backplate so that the backplate screw heads pass
through the keyed holes in the back of the rack.
4. Slide the backplate to the right (viewing from cockpit) until it clicks into place.
5. Secure the backplate by tightening the four #4-40 screws.

Rev. F Page 4-4
4.7.2 GTR/GNC Unit Insertion and Removal
NOTE
Prior to placing the unit in the rack, in order to ensure correct position of the retention
mechanism, it may be necessary to insert the hex drive tool into the access hole and turn
the drive tool counterclockwise until it completely stops.
CAUTION
The application of hex drive tool torque exceeding 15 in-lbs can damage the locking
mechanism.
Insertion
1. The GTR/GNC unit is installed in the rack by sliding it straight in until it stops, approximately 3/8
inch short of the final position.
2. Insert a 3/32" hex drive tool into the access hole at the bottom of the unit face.
3. Turn the hex tool clockwise while pressing on the left side of the bezel until the unit is seated in the
rack.
Removal
1. Insert the hex drive tool into the access hole on the unit face.
2. Turn hex drive tool counterclockwise until the hex drive tool stops.
3. Pull the unit from the rack.
4.7.3 Unit Replacement
Whenever the GTR/GNC unit is removed or reinstalled, verify that the unit powers up successfully.
4.8 COM Antenna Installation and Connections
The GTR/GNC unit requires a standard 50 Ω vertically polarized antenna. Follow the antenna
manufacturer’s installation instructions for mounting the antenna.
The antenna should be mounted on a metal surface or a ground plane with a minimum area of
18 inches by 18 inches. See section 3.2.1 for installation location considerations.
The antenna coax cable should be made of RG-142B, RG-400 or a comparable quality 50 Ω coax.
Check for insertion loss and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). VSWR should be checked with an in-
line type VSWR/wattmeter inserted in the coaxial transmission line between the transceiver and the
antenna. The VSWR should be inserted as close to the transceiver as possible. When rack and harness
buildup is performed in the shop, the coax termination may be provisioned by using a 6" in-line BNC
connection. This would be an acceptable place to insert the VSWR. Any problem with the antenna
installation is most likely seen as high reflected power. A VSWR of 3:1 may result in up to a 50% loss in
transmit power.

6 POST INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION AND CHECKOUT
PROCEDURES
6.1 System Configuration Overview
Checkout and configuration instructions for the GTR/GNC is provided in this section.
 Configure the GTR/GNC for the specific installation (section 6.4)
 Perform the installation checks (section 6.5)
 Perform ground checks to verify the interfaces to external sensors (section 6.6)
 Perform the specified flight checks (section 6.7)
6.2 Mounting, Wiring, and Power Checks
CAUTION
Connection of the power or lighting bus to incorrect pins can cause damage to the unit,
which will require return to the factory for repair. Always start tests with the dimming bus
at the lowest setting, and slowly increase the brightness. Verify the wiring is correct if it is
noticed the lighting level on the GTR/GNC does not increase as the lighting bus input is
increased in brightness.
Verify that all cables are properly secured and shields are connected to the shield block of the connectors.
Check the movement of the flight and engine controls to verify there is no interference between the cabling
and control systems. Ensure that all wiring is installed as described in section 3.4.
Prior to powering up the GTR/GNC, the wiring harness must be checked for proper connections to the
aircraft systems and other avionics equipment. Point to point continuity must be checked to expose any
faults such as shorting to ground. Any faults or discrepancies must be corrected before proceeding.
After accomplishing a continuity check, perform power and ground checks to verify proper power
distribution to the GTR/GNC. Any faults or discrepancies should be corrected at this time. Remove power
from the aircraft upon completion of the harness checkout.
The GTR/GNC can be installed after completion of the continuity and power checks. The GTR/GNC
should be installed into the rack and secured appropriately, as described in section 4.7.1. The GTR/GNC
must be connected to the wiring harness and antennas.

Rev. F Page 6-1
6.3 Connector Engagement Check
Check the connector engagement prior to configuration and checkout of the GTR/GNC.
1. Turn on the avionics master switch (if installed).
2. Place the GTR/GNC in the rack and engage the cam mechanism.
3. Turn the Allen screw of the locking cam (located on the lower left side of the unit) slowly
clockwise until the GTR/GNC just powers on. A T-handle can be used for this, but ensure that the
screw is not over-tightened.
4. Count the number of complete revolutions the Allen screw can be turned until it cannot turn any
more. Do not over-tighten. Three turns is the minimum for proper installation. If fewer than three
turns are possible, the mounting rack should be moved aft (toward the pilot) such that the aircraft
panel does not obstruct the unit from properly engaging in the rack.
6.4 Configuration Mode Operations
The configuration pages shown in this section reflect main software version 2.00. Some differences in
operation may be observed when comparing the information in this manual to later software versions.
Configuration mode is used to configure the GTR/GNC settings for each specific installation.
To access configuration mode:
1. Remove power from the GTR/GNC.
2. Press and hold the ENT key.
3. Apply power to the GTR/GNC by turning the COM volume knob.
4. When “Garmin” appears on the screen release the ENT key.
The first page displayed is the CONFIG MODE page. In configuration mode there are five configuration
groups. The five groups, SYS, NAV, COM, AUD, and LOG each have pages. The outer knob is used to
access the groups. The inner knob is used to access the pages of the groups. The ENT key is used to
confirm the selection of page.

setting to adjust the actual MIC1 gain.
6.4.3.2 COM RX Squelch Page

The COM RX SQUELCH page configures the squelch for the COM receiver. The COM RX squelch
adjusts the signal strength required to break squelch for the COM receiver. See table 6-11 for a description
of each setting.
Garmin changed the GTR/GNC COM radio factory calibration process to allow the level when the auto
squelch opens or closes, to be set at a more sensitive level. The COM RX squelch range (0-100) was
remapped as shown in table 6-11. Installations of radios with the expanded sensitivity calibration process
may require a different COM RX squelch setting to achieve the desired RX squelch performance. Current
production units are shipped with the expanded sensitivity calibration process.
Table 6-11 contains the approximate levels when the auto squelch opens and closes for various COM RX
squelch settings. Installations of GTR/GNCs with the expanded sensitivity calibration will generally use a
COM RX squelch setting of 75 or higher. Installations of GTR/GNCs with the original sensitivity
calibration will generally use a COM RX squelch setting of zero or higher.

B.2 RS-232 NMEA Data Format
B.2.1 Electrical Interface
The I/O signals are compatible with RS-232C. Data is generated at 9600 baud with a word length of 8 bits,
one stop bit, and no parity.
The data format for the serial communication is:
Baud rate 9600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Parity None
B.2.2 Message Formats
All messages conform to the NMEA 0183 proprietary message format as follows. All characters will be
standard ASCII characters. No binary data characters are used.
“$” .........................Start of message character, ASCII “$” (024h).
“P” ..........................Proprietary message identifier.
“GRM” ...................Garmin company identifier.
c...............................Message class identifier; Identifies a message as either a COMM or NAV
message. The GTR and COM portion of the GNC use “C”, while message for
the NAV portion of the GNC use “V.”
nn ..........................Message identifier, two-digit number in ASCII characters.
d.....d .....................Message data characters defined for each message.
chksum ..................Message checksum, including message identifier (nn) through data characters
(d…..d). The two-digit checksum is generated by adding all values of valid
characters together, ignoring carry (if any). This value is converted into two
encoded hex characters (30h-3Fh). [1]
<CR> .....................ASCII carriage return (0Dh).
<LF> .....................ASCII line feed (0Ah).
The maximum message length, including the start of message character (“$”) and the end of message
<CR><LF> sequence, is 25 bytes.
Note:
[1] Encoded hex: each character consists of 4 bits of data placed in the low order nibble +30h. For
example, the 8-bit value 5Fh would be encoded as two characters with values of 35h and 3Fh,
which map to the ASCII characters “5” and “?”, respectively.

Rev. F Page B-5
B.2.3 Message Output Rate
The GTR/GNC will output the following messages at the specified rates:
 CDI, VDI, and Flags at 10Hz (high rate).
 Decoded OBS Setting at 10Hz (high rate).
 Radial from Active VOR at 10Hz (high rate).
 Decoded Station Identifier at 1Hz (low rate).

B.2.4 Message Definitions
B.2.4.1 Input Messages
B.2.4.1.1 Request Data Output
This input command is used to request an output message to be sent by the GTR/GNC. Message data may
be specified. There are a few important things to keep in mind:
 The GTR/GNC will flag the specified message for output when it receives the request. There will
be a lag between the time the message is flagged for output and the time it is actually output. If
another request for the same message is received in this period, then the previous request will be
lost. The amount of lag depends on the number of messages that are consecutively flagged for
output.
 Use of unsupported output identifiers will not generate a Communication Error message.
Message format (GNC NAV requests):
“V” ..........................Message class. This is a GNC NAV request.
“24”.........................Message identifier.
ii ..............................Output identifier of requested message, two ASCII characters. 29 = Request
NAV Audio. 40 = Request NAV Volume. 41 = Request GNC Status.
“000” .......................Reserved.
Message format (GTR/GNC COM requests):
“C” ..........................Message class. This is a GTR/GNC COM request.
ii ..............................Output identifier of requested message, two ASCII characters. 02 = Request
COM Audio Volume. 03 = Request COM software version. 13 = Request
GTR Status.
d ..............................Message sub-id; set to (ASCII) 1 for Request COM Audio Volume, 0
otherwise.
“00”.........................Reserved.
Example messages:
$PGRMV2429000<chksm><CR><LF>
Request the GNC to send the current NAV Audio configuration.
$PGRMC0613000<chksm><CR><LF>
Request the GTR/GNC to send the current COM status.

B.2.4.1.2 Set Active COM Frequency and Transceiver Function.
This message is used to set the Active COM frequency as well as the COM transceiver function.
Message format:
“C” ..........................Message class. This is a GTR/GNC COM message.
mk ...........................Active COMM frequency:
m = desired frequency in MHz in hexadecimal, where m = desired frequency -
30h, with desired frequency in range of 118 to 136 MHz.
k = desired frequency in kHz, where k = (desired frequency / 25 kHz) + 30h,
with desired frequency in range of 000 to 975 kHz in 25 kHz steps.
a...............................Transceiver function: N = normal, M = monitor, 0 = unchanged.
o ..............................8.33 kHz offset: (ASCII) 0 = 25 kHz frequency (.000); 1 = first 8.33 kHz
channel offset (.005); 2 = second 8.33 kHz channel offset (.010); 3 = third
8.33 kHz channel offset (.015)
Example message:
$PGRMC00G4N0<chksm><CR><LF>
This example command would set the active COM frequency to 119.100 MHz and place the COMM radio
in Normal receive mode. This is interpreted by noting that the ASCII “G” corresponds with 47h, +30h =
77h, converted to decimal equals 119 for the MHz portion. The kHz portion converts ASCII “4” to 34h, -
30h yields 4h, x 25 kHz steps = 100 kHz, with no 8.33 kHz channel offsets.
NOTE
The GTR/GNC will check input frequencies for validity. An RS-232 serial error message
output will be generated if the frequency is invalid, or an 8.33 kHz frequency is requested
when the GTR/GNC is in 25 kHz channel spacing mode.
NOTE
The GTR/GNC will ignore this message while transmitting on the active COM frequency.

Rev. F Page B-7
B.2.4.1.3 Set Standby COM Frequency and Transceiver Function.

channel offset (.005); 2 = second 8.33 kHz channel offset (.010); 3 = third
8.33 kHz channel offset (.015)
Example messages:
$PGRMC01KFM2<chksm><CR><LF>
This example command would set the standby COM frequency to 123.565MHz and place the COM radio
in Monitor mode. This is interpreted by noting that the ASCII “G” corresponds with 47h, +30h = 77h,
converted to decimal equals 119 for the MHz portion. The kHz portion converts ASCII “F” to 46h, -30h
yields 16h, x25 kHz steps = 550 kHz, add 3 8.33 channels = 565 kHz.
NOTE
The GTR/GNC will check input frequencies for validity. An RS-232 serial error message
output will be generated if the frequency is invalid, or an 8.33 kHz frequency is requested
when the GTR/GNC is in 25 kHz channel spacing mode.

Example message:
$PGRMV27E40<chksm><CR><LF>
This example command would set the active VOR frequency to 117.100MHz. This can be interpreted by
noting that the ASCII “E” corresponds with 45h, +30h = 75h, converted to decimal equals 117 for the MHz
portion of the command. The kHz portion converts ASCII “4” to 34h, -30h = 4h, x 25 kHz steps =
100 kHz.
NOTE
The GNC will check input frequencies for validity. An RS-232 serial error message output
will be generated if the frequency is invalid.

Rev. F Page B-10

This message indicates a full left CDI deflection (-100), a full up VDI deflection (100), both the GSI and
NAV flags/superflags are valid, TO flag set, FROM flag not set, using a localizer.
Notes:
[1] Encoded hex: each character consists of 4 bits of data placed in the low order nibble +30h. For
example, the 8-bit value 5Fh would be encoded as two characters with values of 35h and 3Fh,
which map to the ASCII characters “5” and “?”, respectively.
[2] The TO and FROM flag can not both be 1, indicating that they are both valid. They can both be
zero, indicating that neither is valid. This situation will occur whenever the receiver determines
that it is within the “cone of confusion” directly over a VOR, or when no signal is being
received.

Rev. F Page B-17
B.2.4.2.7 Decoded OBS setting
This message outputs the current OBS setting, which may be read from the NAV’s internal resolver, the
last valid value received over serial, or from user input to the front panel.
Message format:
v ..............................Valid flag. “0” (zero) = OBS invalid/not present, “V” = OBS setting is valid.
ddd ..........................Three digit OBS setting, in degrees. Values are in the range of “000” to “359.”
Example message:
$PGRMV22V170<chksm><CR><LF>
A valid OBS setting of 170 degrees.
B.2.4.2.8 Radial From Active VOR
This message outputs the current bearing from the active VOR station.
Message format:
v ..............................Valid flag. “0” = bearing not valid, “V” = bearing is valid.
dddf .........................Bearing to a resolution of 1/10th of a degree. ddd = three digit bearing in
degrees, ranging from “000” to “359.” f = 1/10th of a degree.
Example message:
$PGRMV23V1654<chksm><CR><LF>
A valid bearing of 165.4 degrees FROM the active VOR station.

Rev. F Page B-18
B.2.4.2.9 Decoded Station Identifier
This message outputs the decoded station identifier received on the NAV voice channel. This message will
be output even if the station identifier has not been decoded yet. In this case, the message will be flagged as
invalid. Note that the validity of this message does not depend on the current NAV audio mode. The
decoding is done automatically regardless of this setting.
Message format:
v ..............................Valid flag. “0” = identifier is not valid, “V” = decoded station identifier is
valid.
iiiii...........................Decoded station identifier, five characters long. If the decoded identifier is
less than five characters in length, then the trailing characters will be filled in
with spaces. Identifiers are restricted to using ASCII character 0-9 and A-Z.
Example message:
$PGRMV25VISLE<Sp><chksm><CR><LF>
The decoded station identifier is valid and is “ISLE.”
B.2.4.2.10 Communications Error
This message is used to indicate a communication error.
Message format (GNC NAV error):
e...............................Error code: (ASCII)
“0” = input message checksum error.
“1” = unknown message.
“2” = error or mismatch in message data.
Message format (GTR/GNC COM error):
e...............................Error code: (ASCII)
“0” = input message checksum error.
“1” = unknown message.
“2” = error or mismatch in message data.
Example messages:
Received an unknown NAV message.
Received a COM message with an invalid checksum.

Rev. F Page B-19
B.2.4.2.11 NAV Receiver Status
This message is used to output the current status of the NAV receiver. It will be output at the configured
rate, and will output faster than the configured rate when the NAV receiver status changes.
Message format:
mk ...........................Active NAV frequency: m = MHz, where m + 30h = desired MHz frequency
in the range of 108 to 117MHz.
with desired frequency in range of 000 to 950 kHz. Note that valid NAV
frequencies only lie on 50 kHz boundaries (i.e. 108.00, 108.05, 108.10, etc.).
mk ...........................Standby NAV frequency: m = MHz, where m + 30h = desired MHz frequency
in the range of 108 to 117MHz.
with desired frequency in range of 000 to 950 kHz. Note that valid NAV
frequencies only lie on 50 kHz boundaries (i.e. 108.00, 108.05, 108.10, etc.).
“N” ..........................Reserved.
Example message:
$PGRMV28E4?PN<chksm><CR><LF>
Active NAV frequency is 117.100 MHz, Standby NAV frequency is 111.800 MHz.
B.2.4.2.12 NAV Audio Mode
This message is used to output the current NAV audio mode. There are two possible settings for this mode.
There are two possible settings for this mode. The first is “IDENT”, which will suppress the voice portion
of the NAV audio signal and emphasize the Morse Code station identifier (unit will display “ID” in the
upper-left corner of the NAV page). The second choice is “VOICE”, which will emphasize voice signal
and suppress the Morse Code station identifier.
Message format:
a...............................NAV audio mode. “I” = IDENT, “V” = VOICE
Example message:
$PGRMV29I<chksm><CR><LF>
The current NAV Audio mode is “IDENT.”
B.2.4.2.13 NAV Volume Level
This message is used to output the NAV volume level.
Message format:
40 ............................Message ident.
vv ............................Volume level: 00-FFh; use encoded hex (30h-3Fh).
Example message:
The headphone volume level is 30h out of FFh.
