Flew our SL40 equipped RV-12 up to Mount Vernon ILL for the Sport Pilot Expo yesterday. Tried to listen to their AWOS about 25 miles out to get winds, and baro. The AWOS freq is 113.8. My SL40 only goes down to 118.00. Yeah, I know, it's a VOR receive only freq. So, did I buy the wrong com radio?? I really didn't see the need for an SL30, with a very capable Skyview. So, is there any reasonable approach to being able to receive VOR audio?? I really like to listen to the local AWOS before approaching an airport.
