I've been planning on a garmin SL-30 nav/comm for a future panel upgrade, but Garmin tech support today just confirmed a fear of mine: they have no plans to make either the SL-30 or SL-40 compatible with the new tighter spacing. 

    

   I suppose one option is to plan on upgrading comm2 to 8.33kHz when needed and leaving the SL-30 as-is.  

    

   Anyone know when the new channelization is going to become mandatory in the US?  I hear it's coming, someday.  What are some good options for current production nav-comms that offer this feature already?  I don't need a gps/nav/comm unit since I plan to run GRT's gps as a stand-alone IFR unit, so the 430, 530, 480 are all too much radio for my needs.

    

   Thanks.

From what I have been told the 8.33 spacing is not coming to the US…  But a digital radio is more likely here but I would bet in either case you would almost wear out your radio by the time it takes effect

Be careful, IFR qualified GPS units must meet TSO 129a standards.  The 

Garmin 430/530/480 and King KLN series do.  I have read nothing about GRT 

certifying their equipment.
