Tune Com with Touch

[ed.meyer]

With a SV 1000T, is there a way to touch an airport on the map display and get SV to tune com to that airport? When I touch an airport I do get some airport information but don't see an option to tune com.

Once you touch on the airport, then touch "INFO" (assuming you are on the MAP menu) at the bottom. It will bring up the airport page, touch COM, select which COM you want, and then touch "TUNE COM" at the bottom. This takes several touches, but since airports commonly have several frequencies you need the menu to determine which one you want.

Thanks Dynon.

BTW, its worth mentioning that there is another shortcut.

If the airport is close, push APT on the COM control module, rotate the smaller knob to select the right airport, push the knob to accept, and then push TWR and push the knob to switch to active.

Thanks. I have been using that method. There again, would be nice if you could touch the airport on the map to select rather than sorting through list. A little suggestion for an already great system.
