If you can use an SL40 in the same rack then you can borrow my radio as
I will be too busy to fly my Europa for the next couple of weeks.

My nearly new Garmin SL30 which has previously worked fine, today in the
air 
started refusing to change frequency. It was as though it had decided to

stick to just one working frequency and just one standby. Changing the 
standby saw it change back to the starting one over the next second or
two. 
Changing from the active to the standby was followed by it changing
itself 
back to the previous active. This is a potential disaster as I am due to
fly 
off to the Black Sea (fortunately the West bank of it!) on Wednesday,
and 
the avionics experts at RGV Aviation are off on holiday.
        The SL30 is linked to a Blue Mountain Efis to display VORs &
glide 
slopes, and potentially to share frequencies, but the radio behaved the
same 
when I switched off the Efis.
        Any thoughts would be most welcome
                   Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
