Serial port for IFD 440 (PORT 4 on my system) not an option on comm output for top bar. Can Skyview display IFD 440 COMM in the top bar? I can display my COMM 2 radio SL30 with no problem. Wondering if it’s a Skyview or Avidyne issue, thank you.

It depends on the protocol. If the IFD can speak the same as the SL30, it will work.
Do you know how I make it “speak” the same as SL30

I don't know if it can. A call to Avidyne would be in order.

If you get a response from Avidyne, Please let us know if this is possible. I'd like to see the IFD440 freq displayed also

I looked through a copy of the IFD-440 install manual and could find nothing about talking to an EFIS over a serial line with SL-30 protocol. Doesn't mean it isn't there - just that I couldn't find it.
Thank you, I actually told Dynon that my 440 was an SL30 and it x’ed out the comm boxes. I also tried every other system that comes up on the Dynon none worked. When I label the 440 as a G430 it doesn’t give me the option to select the 440. I think it’s something Avidyne didn’t consider. I think it will take software update to fix. Thanks for looking.
There isn't currently a way to get the Avidyne (or Garmin integrated GPS/NAV) radio status on the top bar. That functionality is available on devices that use the SL30/40 serial format (which includes the SL30/40, the newer generation G radios, and a couple others)
