Well, to anyone following this thread.
It was the charger. The old one worked.........but was too weak to charge the DGL50. This new hi-power charger did the trick. Now........fully charged!! See my avatar.....that is my "happy face!"
George, I think your ForeFlight will do what your Aera won't. Strange. I just bought these hi charge devices.....I think it might be the solution! Testing them now. Hope to fully charge the battery.
At home, with the unit "OFF," I can't get the battery to indicate more than my red arrow.
I think I might need a new battery installed. Might send it off to Chris Short LLC.
I have a DGL 50 and Aera 660.
What I can't figure out is how to tell the %battery level in the GDL 50.
Probably RIGHT in front of me.
This is as close as I see but never changes.
Thanks
I don't think you have ANY idea of the amount of train traffic that travels through the Columbia Gorge. It is almost continuous............since it is the only sea-level route through the Cascades.
People were upset by all the trains honking their horns going upstream of the Columbia River out of Vancouver. So they decided to stop honking. Within a week, Chuck Kellog was killed crossing an intersection. Shortly thereafter, the trains went back to honking!
Sorry to necropost here. But Chris Short will fix these Garmin pieces of junk.
He fixed my Aera 660 for $125. It was dead as a doornail.

Well..................it can be done! I needed a corporate job........wrote a 135 manual.............found a customer to sign up for 40hrs/month...........found a rich guy to buy the airplane.

It was Win/Win/Win
Jim Raisbeck also used it for testing.
It had a "Goutche"...
