Question for John Collins..on most of the issues with com interference that you reference in your post, were these ADS-B installs mostly associated with GPS antennas mounted on the fuselage or were they Skybeacon installs ? I am aware of the notch filter requirement and have not needed to...

Seems like the majority of failures are caused by poor gps reception. The gps antenna on the skybeacon is small, and like all gps antennas must have a good view of the sky. The droop wingtip in post #50 will definitely obscure some of the gps coverage. It would be better, IMO, if the gps antenna...

Seems only good business to help customers who have issues that were caused by a crash during an update...oh well. I built a couple Stratux receivers years ago for about 100 bucks each...both still work great. Parts from Amazon, support on internet. Now units more like 200-250 each.

We are all screwed..while I feel your pain regarding MS Edge which I hate, I am often amazed that I my tv remote is listening to my conversations and posting ads related to my conversation when I go online. My HP laptop is little more than a doorstop after all the updates...it worked great 2...

What Domenick said..sounds like he bought my old unit.

Sorry...I misread title of this one. Did not see the L in the first word...:-)

Before this thread takes the usual path to someplace far from the original question...get the flight review and get on with your life. Nobody is coming to take you away, because they are too busy locking up all the pilots who flew their planes past the 24 month transponder check :-).

ForeFlight, Weather Channel, prog charts, phone airports where I intend to fuel, destination airport for parking, tie down, fuel, wx info.

It surprised the heck out of me too. I was having trouble getting the terrain/obstacle card in my GNS430 to update...called the Garmin phone number, a tech rep asked for permission to access my computer online and discovered an issue with my card. They put in a request for free exchange which...

Here is an idea...why not contact Garmin directly and see if they can help. A couple months ago, I had a terrain card stop working during an online update. The Garmin tech online suggested I send in my card for exchange for a new one. Sent in old card...received a new one.

Since you are prepping for new paint job, try paint stripper...I use it only as a last resort, but it will usually get the job done.

Looks like a scene out of a Die Hard movie..

Let it go.... Before ads-b, you probably would never have noticed. En route to sun n fun this year, I had 2 planes at my altitude cross less than 1 mile in front of me..the more I turned to avoid, the more they turned toward me...never got a visual on either. It really sucks when this...

Most user manuals and install manuals are online.

Collins made first class equipment. If the radio starts working after you twiddle the knobs, it might be more of a mechanical issue. Caig deoxit is excellent for connectors and switches. Make sure the ground connection is good. Some shops connected the ground wire to the tray instead of to the...

Because they work on GNS series navigators...serious answer.

Call Bevan Aviation ..

Have you or any of your friends been held hostage by an aircraft maintenance shop and logbooks refused to be given to the owner ? I have plenty of first hand knowledge on this subject. Multiple planes, some dismantled, logbooks withheld from multiple owners even though no money owed after...

So...none of you use ForeFlight or use an ipad ? I used the timer in my ipad years before they incorporated one in ForeFlight. Use the split screen option and put the timer on separate page..slide it over when you need it.
