Figure 10.1 Broadcast Receiver Options
Both receivers receive a constant stream of weather data. Broadcast

Mexican and Caribbean METARS and TAFs.

10.1.1
Using Broadcast Datalink in Flight
The Broadcast Datalink receiver receives weather data continuously.
It is not necessary to enable or disable the receipt of individual types
of data. You can select Datalink data products to display on the Map,
Trip, or NRST pages.
Note:
The boundary of the available datalink radar data is shown by
an area with diagonal stripes. In normal operation, this
boundary follows the outline of CONUS if US RDR is
selected, or the extent of Canadian Radar if CAN RDR is
selected. If, however, datalink radar is unavailable in a
particular area for any reason, the hatched lines appear in
XMD076 for
XM Broadcast
Reception
Or
MLB700 for Sirius
