1.1   Product Description

Combining a powerful VHF communications transceiver with 200 channel VOR, 
Localizer and Glideslope receivers, the GNC 255 provides a full-functioned 
navigation and communications solution in a small footprint at a very affordable 
price. Besides traditional NAV/COM features, the GNC 255 also incorporates 
workload-reducing functions such as automatic decoding of the Morse code station 
identifier for VOR/LOC, most-used frequency storage in memory, built-in course 
deviation indicator, and more. 

The GNC 255 has the ability to monitor the standby COM frequencies. The GNC 
255’s COM radio operates in the aviation voice band, from 118.000 to 136.975 
MHz, in 25 kHz steps (default). For European operations, configuration for 8.33 kHz 
steps is provided with the GNC 255A (10 watt) and GNC 255B (16 watt). The GNC 
255 VHF NAV receiver operates from 108 MHz to 117.95 MHz decoding both the 
VHF Omni Range and Localizer navigation signals. The built-in Glideslope receiver will 
automatically tune the corresponding glideslope paired frequencies (328 MHz to 335 
MHz) when the localizer is tuned.
