Today while turning the inner concentric knob on my GTN, it literally disintegrated in my fingers. I can still turn the inner knob by using the metal stub that juts out, but I really need to get a new one. Any idea where I can get just the rubberized inner knob for less than, say, $2,000?

The clearance was sprung up on me out of the blue and I wasn't expecting it, being my first time to that area of the state. But based on the various responses here, I can see that the next time I'm in that situation that I need to clarify with the controller exactly what he or she wants.

Yes, was still on JAYMC - LAL leg. I mentioned KSEF only to give an idea of where along the line I was when the join Bridge 8 clearance was issued.

I recently flew into KSPG (Whitted field in St Petersburg) coming from Hollywood, KHWO. The route took me to THNDR, JAYMC, LAL and then direct. Along the course line and just west of KSEF, the controller asked that I join the Bridge 8 arrival. Being new to the GTN I entered the arrival and...

Actually the encoder is about four years old, but that wouldn't explain why the display on the Trig is giving an accurate pressure altitude reading. However, I did have somebody take a look and they reported that the connector at the antenna end is crimped and in bad shape.

Marriott is devaluing the program (again) starting in February, so those more points than you know what to do with will now easily be used up. They are changing to a "dynamic" program, which means the number of points needed per night is based on what the hotel is charging for a room. In other...

This pretty much confirms what I suspected. I'm trying to find a shop that can fit me in, which isn't easy these days. Thanks for the reply.

Over the past 2 years I've had two transponder failures. The original KT76A bit the dust and I got a used KT76C because I didn't want to have new wiring and tray installed. The 76C worked great for about a year then crapped out. I then had a brand new Trig TT31 installed and it stopped reporting...

Your statement would be true while flying, but when on the ground and taking a reading before opening the hangar door, the probe should give the same reading as all the others.

Mine too, that's why I asked.

I have a new GI 275 ADI connected to a GTP 59 OAT probe. When I look at the OAT on the display, it's always 2 degrees cooler than four other temperature sources that I have (which are all in agreement), including a digital thermometer. I always conduct this test first thing in the morning with...

Not too practical when flying on a 300 mile journey and the autopilot is taking its cues from GPS Steering, which is executing the entered flight plan.

I was recently given for the first time a flight plan using an FRD of CTY073015. My old navigator won't accept a fix like that but I am stymied on how to respond to it when given. When departing from an airport with a tower, do I say unable CTY073015, or should I ask to have it changed by the...

Version was upgraded to 6.71

RS232

I recently had work done on my panel and noticed that the cross feed between the GTN 750 and the portable AERA 510 is no longer working. The GTN version was upgraded which tells me that something happened to the configuration. What I am seeking here is how to configure the crossfill from the GTN...

My KT76-C transponder is in the fritz and the repair station doesn't think it's worth repairing. He has one he can sell me but for $1,700. I see these units all over the place for less than $500. Can I buy a cheap, yellow tagged unit and simply slip it in, or does it need the Mode S code entered?

That may actually work. I'll try it in an out of sight spot, thanks.

Seriously?

Dismantling the panel to repaint would be an awful lot of work. I was hoping an easier solution would be suggested but guess I'll just learn to live with it.
