Garmin today introduced a series of VHF comm and navcom radios that redefine what the modern aviation transceiver can and should be.

The GTR 225 and GNC 255 series stand-alone radios replace Garmin’s SL 30 and SL 40 units with a modern take on the trusty VHF navcom by including features like automatic frequency lookup by identifier or station name, a nearest list and the ability to store more than a dozen frequently used frequencies.
