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.

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.
