My autopilot (Navaid Device) needs a +- 1 mn sensitivity for accurate
enroute tracking. The GX50 allows a manual setting for the enroute default
from 5 to 1 mn. Does either the GNS430 or CNX 80 have that setting? The
User's Guides for both of these units do not mention this capability. This
will be the "show-stopper" if one does not.


The GNS430, when in auto mode, automatically sets the sensitivity to
+/- 5 miles. Within 30nm of the destination, the sensitivity gradually
adjusts to +/- 1nm. 2nm outside the FAF, it gradually adjusts to
+/- 0.3 nm.

The en route sensitivity can be overridden to the +/- 1nm setting.
