Garmin GNC 215 VHF NAV/COMM Radio

 

The GNC 215 NAV/COMM radio offers all the same COMM features as the GTR 205, while also adding full VHF navigation capabilities, including VOR/ILS with localizer and glideslope. Navaid lookup allows the GNC 215 to find the desired frequency from its built-in worldwide database when entering a navaid, and the Automatic Station ID feature will automatically decode a station’s Morse code to provide positive visual identification.

 

The GNC 215 also has the ability to monitor the standby VOR frequency while displaying the received radial and features a supplemental CDI display for a VOR or localizer. These NAV/COMM products interface with most CDI, HSI and autopilot systems, as well as most Garmin flight displays to show the Nav indicators in the primary field of view.
