Can anyone tell me the difference between the
GARMIN GI-106A VS. MD200-306 CDI/LOC/GS ?
I have looked at the Garmin description on both and they seem to have the
same features.

Hello Randy, I think that Mid Continent makes the GI-106A for Garmin. They
may be identical except for labeling. You could check with Mid Continent to
confirm.

There is a difference in the annunciator lights. I think the GI-106 is
missing either the BC or GPS annunciator.

Hello Again Randy, I have a single GI-106A being fed selectively by either a
Garmin GNS 430 or an SL-30.
The change over between the two sources is done by a split lighted push
button switch that activates a Northern Airborne Technologies RS 16-001 Data
Switch. Each push of the push button switch changes the lighted portion of
the push button switch and causes a shift from one navigation source to the
other.
The GI-106A has three light indications on its face. "NAV" is lighted when
the SL-30 is feeding the CDI. "GPS" is lighted when the GPS portion of the
GNS 430 is feeding the CDI. "VLOC" is lighted when the VOR or localizer
portion of the GNS 430 is feeding the CDI. There is no back course light or
indication on the GI-106A.
The SL-30 does have both a BC selection and an indication on the display on
the box itself.
As I wrote previously I normally use the SL-30 to feed the external CDI for
VOR, Localizer, or ILS approaches and the GNS 430 to provide big picture
situational awareness. I am very pleased with this equipment and feel that
the SL-30 is one of the most capable pieces of avionics gear in existence.

Thanks John I thought they we're both manufactured by mid cont.
but since Garmin sells both it has been somewhat confusing to me. I have
sent Mid Cont. an email so maybe I can get to the bottom of this. I would
like to order a cdi/gs/loc and figured one of these 2 would be my best bet
since Im' also going with a sl30. And they are priced close.

Hi OC,
I am new to the list and saw this today. I am planning the same equipment , i.e., a 430W, SL30, and 106A. I am not familiar with the items you mentioned about switching back and forth. Can you point me to the catalog locations or suppliers with the correct items numbers? I'm pretty weak on the electrical stuff although I reading up on it now(Bob Nuckolls book). Thanks for your help.
