Two words come to mind here no matter the experience level, RTFM & AVIATE especially for first flight - the good thing to come out of this is this discussion will get some in a thinking mood. ;) First flight - be very careful. Jake J

Vern I've found some issues sometimes with pass-throughs with SV transponder ( hex code was changing randomly) & VPX too but not Aera 500, solution appears to be letting the SV's power up completely & then powering up the avionics. HTH Jake J

Is it possible you have an NC (normally closed) as opposed to an NO one ? Just thinking ...... I had that happen once, someone 'borrowed' a ptt switch & accidentally replaced it with an NC version ::) Jake J

Mark If it's working ok then it's just fine, you can't 'hurt' it. ;) Jake J

Good try Hugh but the reported low power unit is a Dynon so it isn't the cradle, read his first post :-? Jake J

John Don't discount the antenna - I found one that had 2 of the 4 segments missing that make contact with the pin of the BNC connector.  The result was a poor & intermittent connection to the antenna. This was found after a customer reported the Txpdr was dropping off radar & had reduced...

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression -it was just that 'a heads up' as to what I have found, a complete generalisation.  BTW Dynon do not supply the connectors directly and I certainly don't mean to imply they do. We need to be mindful of the issues that can cause some faults in our installed...

Ds - I posted some general info about faulty dsub connectors some months ago to give a 'heads up' for others, seems like Vern has found one too. :) "Why I mentioned it is that I think a well known supplier of connectors has been shipping out some dsub connectors that require the insert tool to...

....or you could use a 3PDT switch so that both sceens would only see 1 x Gps at a time & simply set the switch to the other Gps if one fails - this still would then use only 1 x serial port as DS says ;) Jake J

Hires Low Very Low ... on both Screens. ;) Jake J

Yes, that's what I do for my customers here ;) Jake J

Sure can but be prepared to buy another one again later as they don't have a good record of reliability ;) Jake J

Hey Vern - I was only answering your question below - obviously the 2 pin connector is a different issue in your case, something that is not beyond your capability to fix ;D ;D This begs the question... Is my old controller still capable of working with the new pitot? Thanks, Vern

Also note this from the Q & A notes on this link --- http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/support_bulletin_101014.html Question: Since the Dynon Heated AOA/Pitot Probe system is comprised of the pitot itself and its controller module, don’t I need a replacement for both? Answer: No. The...

Vern In a word, yes ;) The only thing that changed is the 'head'. Jake J

Lars, I'll pm you tonight. Jake J

Lars Have you contacted the others building Bearhawks ? I know the ADAHRS unit can be installed & working properly on one, a client has done it ;) Jake J

Vern That's exactly the same situation I've been posting about on this forum in the past - glad you got it nailed as well ;D Jake J

Vern You are correct re the connections as they are the cause of most symptoms - if you do a search on this topic you'll see my posts & my suggested causes/solutions ;) Pm me if you want & I'll call you to discuss this :) Jake J

I may be incorrect here but I think you are talking about 2 different systems here 1. Fuel level - the standard float senders will not show all the fuel in the tank as it is unable to measure the top 5 gals or so. 2. Fuel Computer - this does not show level it should show TOTAL capacity of all...
