Both NAV and COMM frequency displays
on these units incorporate the popular flip-flop preselect feature.
So, you can set up en route or approach frequency changeovers well
in advance of your actual transition point or ATC handoff sequence
for true stay ahead flight management. Just select your upcoming NAV
or COMM frequency in the standby (STBY) display, and youre all set
to flip-flop it into active status at the press of a button. This function
may also be controlled from an optional remote mounted switch. Both
active and standby frequencies are displayed simultaneously, so you
never have to worry about whats being stored. And theres no chance
of inadvertently erasing a frequency just when you need it most. An
innovative non-volatile memory circuit holds all the displayed frequencies
in storage through aircraft shutdowns or momentary power interruptions
without the need for battery power of any kind.

controlled gas discharge readouts and solid-state electronic tuning
