Suggestion: Could really use ADF from NDBs

[andylovett]

I fly in Australia. I have hooked a Garmin SL30 into Skyview for VOR navigation, but that is of limited use in this country as VORs are not widespread. We could really use a way of getting an ADF (NDBs are available almost everywhere) into Skyview.

NDB's are on borrowed time here, some are up to 40 years old - if I was a manufacturer there is no way I'd spend time doing the interface even if it was possible. It is the 21st century now

IMO a 'backup' Gps would be of far more value, and much cheaper, than an ADF

Jake basically has it right. We don't currently have any plans for ADF interfacing, given its lack of use among the vast majority of our customers, and the fact that GPS accomplishes essentially the same function for most people.
