SET FREQUENCY

The Enigma/Voyager/Odyssey greatly reduces workload when flying in busy airspace environments by helping you find and set frequencies to your airband transceiver.

How does it work?

Firstly, you need a compatible radio with a serial input connected to your MGL Avionics EFIS. Right now this includes:

  • XCOM 760
  • Garmin SL-40
  • Garmin SL-30 nav/com
  • Filser

Once these are installed and communicating, simply follow the procedure at right to set frequencies to your radio.

Enigma XCOM

XCOM Instructions:

You need to enable the serial interface on the XCOM radio. You can do this executing the following steps:

1. Switch the unit off by holding the ON button for 3 secs
2. Hold down the DUAL and MODE buttons and press ON
3. The unit should start and show the software version (Note the version)
4. Press the F/CH knob until RHEAD is shown
5. Turn the F/CH knob clockwise and the display should show ON
6. Press the FLIP/FLOP (double arrow) button

Once this is done the serial interface will be enabled and you can set frequency to the XCOM from your EFIS.
