Ditto. I understood my mission pretty well and my purchase of the 180 arrow was about right. Doesn't mean I wouldn't kick an extra 20 knots out of bed, but for what it's worth, it works. What I UNDERESTIMATED however was the dated panel and the work I put into updating it. I am now careful to...

If they aren't saying anything, I ain't saying anything. Back away slowly and improve your scan.

commercial ones?

AH. TY

Aren't data plates replaced when the OH shop OH's the engine? If this is the case, I can't see this being an issue with Lyc.

I know this answer will not help you much, but there are two ways to measure the impact of engine time on sales price. 1) Subjective on the part of the seller and the buyer. This has been discussed in previous comments. and 2) Statistically speaking, the impact of engine time depends entirely...

Any excuse to spend $$...lol

Or...press on and just adjust your fuel flow calcs on the ole whiz wheel... :D

According to Garmin, when I spoke with the engineering rep, he said he had never heard of such a problem. This of course may have been both true and untrue. He stated that in their morning meetings, nobody had mentioned it and it was not in their library of known issues. However, either on this...

I'm sorry I don't know what class of cable he used, but I DO know that he 'suspected' that the cable was bad, so he swapped it out altogether. Theory: When he installed the box and using the original coax, his creation of a new connector was less than perfect and it was THIS that was causing the...

If nothing else gets me to recurrent training, it is to avoid reading so many people arm-chair quarterbacking decisions I may make under extreme stress from the comfort of their soft couch.

Thanks for your comment and input. I just received notice from the avionics installer that the box was confirmed to be outputting better than 10w on transmit -> NOT a box problem. This is good news in that it nails down where the problem ISN'T. Unfortunately, it points the finger at the...

Are we absolutely positive a pilot/owner can't swing his own compass (no double-entendre intended)?

That’s great to hear! Thanks!

Update: spoke with Garmin engineering field service. According to them, they have NO RECORD of ANYONE complaining about this issue. Not even the instance where BrianM said that "Garmin says it's a software issue" above. Sorry BrianM, not sure what to tell you here. So, I made the call to swap...

Also: why replace the whole box if the problem is software and updates can be

Thanks for this. Your post is timely. I am at the airport now meeting the avionics installer to test connections to the antenna etc. And make sure the basic stuff is good. I will tell him your experience and Garmin a response. Can you Email or post Garmin a response? We bought the unit from...

Just as a quick update, the smoke here in Oregon has kept me on the ground keeping me from testing these settings. Thanks again. Hoping this works! If it doesn't we're going to blame the box and swap it.

We may simply swap the box too. Gonna bring it to the shop today for them to work through it. We'll see.

Great! Thanks. I see your carrier squelch is on 55%. That’s what I think the issue was, mine was at 98%. I’ll use these settings and let you know. Thanks.
