I noticed some pilot discussions in the USA where somebody noticed ILS frequencies like 110.15 (Toussus ILS25 in France for example) and it has been claimed that only special transport jet radios support this; that no GA equipment supports it.
Has anybody come across this as an issue?

All current GA nav radios support 50kHz spacing (therfore 40 channel glideslope). A few very old (Narco 12A with UGR2 glideslope Rx's ?) units may still be around, but all Garmin and Honeywell and Narco equipment produced is the last 20 years or more is certainly compliant.

special transport jet radios ?
50kHz channel spacing has been around for a long time on big jets as standard. I thought this was basically mandatory now?
