Hi,
Although the inners may be identical (I don't know), I'm fairly sure there
were some protocol differences between the SL-30 and SL-40. The SL-40 is
now a specific option on the GRT EFIS and AFAIK it provides functional
control the same as SL-30.
I think the SL-30/SL-40 differences information was via the GRT yahoo group

Different firmware revs. The early SL-30 was not remotely channelable
either. All it could get was a set of 10 most likely frequencies from
the GX-60. You still had to control the SL-30 from its own front panel.

The comm section of the two radios are identical as far as I have
been able to discern. The functional differences seem to be a
function of the firmware loaded into the microprocessor that controls
the radio. Now Garmin may be limiting the functionality of the
firmware in the SL-40 but that doesn't mean it isn't capable. (Well,
yeah it does because that is what you get from Garmin and I don't
know anyone who has hacked the firmware ... yet.)
I am really hoping that, when I get to doing the panel in the CJ6A, I
will be able to fully control the function of the SL30 remotely from
a display in the back seat. OTOH, by then it will probably be a
different product that makes the most sense. I sure as heck will not
be buying any avionics until I am down to the very final assembly of
the panel. The functionality of the boxes just changes too much with
time to go out and buy anything before you really need it.
