i'm testing a new aircraft i got but am not picking up any localizer or glideslope information at KMEM Runway 18L. i know about intercepting at 10 miles and 3000ft and i think the minimum is something like 2500feet.i wanted to come in lower than 3000ft so i tried 2500 and 2600ft but i get nothing. the localizer/glideslope does not com alive.is that to low an altitude? i'm pretty sure ATC has brought me in at some airports at 2400ft.all the autopilot and radio setting are correct.william

Make sure that you've remembered to move your NAV/GPS switch back to NAV, otherwise the ILS won't register.;)

well it was an error on my part. i didn't have the radios tuned properly.thanks microlight
