I have an SV Comm and HDX. I no longer see a "APT-COM" prompt on bottom of the HDX when I am on the "NRST" page so I cannot load the freqs into the SV Comm. Any ideas? Everything else is normal. I remember having it in the past. Come to think of it, the last update from Seattle Avionics seems to be when I no longer have the prompt?

Hmm - Do you see com freqs for that airport under the com radio tab? Does the radio APT button work to bring up the list of nearest airports from the radio itself.

The Seattle Avionics data won't have any bearing on the radio frequencies, btw. That's all in the digital data you download from the Dynon website.

The only other time I can think of is if the highlighted airport didn't have any frequencies associated with it. One test - highlight an airport on the NRST page that displays this behavior, then go to that airport's info page, then the comm freqs sub-page. Does that look normal? (ie, are there airport-associated frequencies there?)

No "APT COM" or "TUNE COM" on the main menu.

In the pictures, the com radio frequencies are no longer displayed on the top bar. It has to be there for the frequency to be sent to the radio. I suspect the SV-COM-PANEL is not set as PRIMARY COM. Go to the setup menu's, go to SYSTEM SETUP > PRIMARY COM and select your SV-COM-PANEL, go to DISPLAY COM IN TOP BAR and make sure it is set to yes.
