I'm installing a G3X Touch and GTN-625 in my RV-6A and I'm considering adding the VAL NAV 2000 receiver to give VOR/LOC/GS. This seems to be the lowest cost solution for adding the VOR/LOC/GS into the radio stack and switching out the GTN-625 for the GTN-650 is cost prohibitive. In discussing this approach with Garmin, they indicated some people have had problems with getting the G3X Touch to communicate with the VAL NAV 2000 because the VAL NAV 2000's implementation of the SL-30 command set isn't very robust. So, my question are:
1) Has anyone successfully installed the VAL NAV 2000 into their G3X Touch panel?
2) Any issues/problems with the VAL NAV 2000 (e.g. reliability, reception, etc)?
3) Other suggestions for a VOR/LOC/GS receiver? I like the SL-30, but it's 2-3 times the price (used) and end of life.
Thanks,
Jerald
