    Map data obscuring map

    In addition, I had mentioned in an earlier post that when viewing my 7" screen located in the center stack (used only for moving map), the font for labels and traffic is difficult to read. An example is the text for traffic that shows + or - feet. I can read the feet number, but can't easily...

    What is default squelch setting of SV-COM-C25?

    I too have issues with my SV-COM. Similar to madb1rd, with the squelch set high enough to kill the noise (about 60 - 70%), I miss calls from ATC when using flight following, sometimes shorter distance tower calls. Cable and SWR checks are good. I really like the SV-COM features, but have had...

    SV/HDX Trade Program?

    Any new updates by Dynon regarding a SV trade-in for the HDX? :D

    SV-INTERCOM-2S unmuted audio issue

    LanceTurk - one other thing to consider is a separate summing module for all non-priority inputs. This effectively eliminates any common "low" or ground issues. There are several on the market, but the one I use in my aircraft is sold by Flight Data Systems and is the AP-60...

    SkyView HDX 10" Displays Now Shipping

    Dynon - do I remember you mentioning that you had an adapter bezel available (or CAD drawing) for mounting the HDX in the older SV cut-out?

    What screws are used for the SkyView Touch/HDX?

    Thanks RV711AC. I actually have hundreds of the 0.267 OD washers and yes they are too big. As I mentioned before, I had some that were the same size as the screw head, but used them up. The ones with built-in washers have washers the same size as the screw heads. Actually spent another 2...

    What screws are used for the SkyView Touch/HDX?

    Skysailor - tried these awhile back, but all the MC socket screws have split washers. These are worse than no washer as the split edge really chips the powdercoat. Really looking for flat washers. Found some stainless steel screw/washer ones from China some time ago, but their minimum order...

    What screws are used for the SkyView Touch/HDX?

    Since we are discussing screws...  I have a quick question.  I have always used 6-32 socket head cap screws for all my panel mounts (when possible), and some years ago had some black oxide #6 washers with the same diameter as the socket head.  I ran out of those and have been looking ever since...

    Best mechanical method for Y junctions/splices

    Totally agree with n456ts!!! Solder with heat shrink. Not a single butt splice in my airplane. Best to use a non-acid flux and clean the joint with contact cleaner after soldering to prevent any chance of corrosion. The NET-HUB is definitely the way to go instead of having so many splitters...

    Dynon Skyview "EMS Failure"

    Just a quick note that may not apply here, but spent a great deal of time and head scratching working with the P-Mag folks on the same RPM issue.  Finally was diagnosed as P-Mag connector becoming just a bit loose and indicating erratic RPM when engine was creating power vibrations.  Also had...

    EGT and CHT indication

    Paul, you are correct. Extensions require the same wire type and gauge. K Type is made with nickel/chromium - nickel/aluminum, while J Types are made with iron - constantan (nickel/copper). For your application, you can generally extend wires without affecting accuracy. When making my own...

    EGT and CHT indication

    Home Depot bolts will probably work in an airplane too, but I'd rather have AN bolts. Best to go with what is design compatible, then you know there will be no issues. I can understand an argument if we are talking 100's of dollars cost difference, but for a few extra bucks... You will never...

    Intro

    I am using the Glasair 5 insert panel in my Tango 2, and agree strongly with Murray. Make the entire panel removable. I performed two other modifications. I widened the center stack insert to accommodate an AvMap, then eventually, a 7" Skyview. I also added a shelf extension along the bottom...

    EGT and CHT indication

    OK, I've posted this before, but worth doing again.  Get rid of the spade connectors!!!!  I use dedicated TC connectors made with compatible metals and easy install.  Fixed all my problems.  You can purchase the connectors from Omega at www.omega.com.  There are male and female genders and J & K...

    Dynon and Advanced Oshkosh 2016 News

    Would like to see more on Dynon's thoughts about trade-ins for the HDX like they did for the touch screens. I am assuming Dynon has already thought about this to some degree, and would like to hear what they are thinking, with the understanding they would not yet have firm pricing or timing...

    Map Display

    I had made a comment on the general discussion page a few days ago about Map fonts. I have a 7" screen in my center stack that I primarily use for the Map display. It is just far enough away that it is difficult to read airport data, and more of importantly, traffic data. I have to lean...

    Moving Map Display

    Thanks Dynon. Would really like to see this capability in the future, if possible.

    Moving Map Display

    Quick question - I have a 10" and 7" display. The 7" is mounted at the top of the center stack and I use it primarily for the GPS moving map. I find that it is just far enough away that I have trouble reading items such as airport identifying and general map data, and most importantly, traffic...
