Just curious if the SL30 will fit in the standard -12 panel or is it too long? The specs on Garmin's website show the tray as being the same size as the SL40. Also, where are you guys installing the vor/gs ant.?
The SL-40 and SL-30 trays are surprisingly *not* the same.
I had an SL-40 in my -7A and I had to swap out the tray to upgrade to the SL-30.
But they are exactly the same size, only the rear connector plate is different.
This brings me to my next questions, can I integrate the SL30 to the skyview directly or does it have to go through Van's black box and will the black box accomidate the nav side of the SL30? Also, will the SkyView A/P couple directly to the vor/loc/gs feature of the SL30?
OK, I am square on the connection to the black box, but will the 30 fit in the place of the 40 with no panel modifications? It appears that it will, but I want to be sure. Also, does this high priced antenna receive both nav and com signals or is a separate nav ant. required?

You will most likely go with a Whisker VOR ant underneath the tail or remove the fiberglass cap on top of the vertical stab and put it there.
Mark S (MS19087) made very nice fiberglass housing for the bottom of his 9 for the whiskers
