Is your knob panel installed somewhere where there might be EM energy? I had a similar intermittent problem with my A/P panel, that only appeared when the optional DB-25 automatic trim control cable was attached and operating. I suspected EM interference from some other component, and did a...

Yeah, I am leaning towards a MGL Razor head and remote Nav Com receivers, hooked into a Skyview serial port using the SL30 protocol.

Does, (or can), the Trig 56A interface with Skyview using one serial port on standard Garmin SL-30 protocol?

I am already using RG 400 coax. But I also have ADSB In, using separate, but same model antenna. Think I'll switch them and see if that fixes the Mode-C, and causes the ADS-B In system to act up..

Rhino, The possibility exists that on those occasions where the controller reported "Loss of Transponder", he was not being completely accurate, and in fact all that he was noticing was loss of Mode C. In one of the cases when this happened, I did not query him immediately about what parts...

As to the "gentle pull test ", Not yet, will do that next.

I have a SV-XPNDR-261 transponder, hooked up to an ADVANCED AIRCRAFT ELECTRONICS HIGH GAIN TRANSPONDER ANTENNA. Recently, over the past few months, I have had recurring intermittent Transponder and Mode C Failures (as reported by various ATC controllers). Sometimes the controller reports that...

Bottom line here is this (the point I was trying to elucidate). Since the AOA system does not know about the position of the flaps (or any other aerodynamic device that changes the aircraft configuration), once you have performed the AOA calibration procedure, (no matter how you do it or what...

Except for very simple GA aircraft, most aircraft today have artificial feel systems such that you cannot "feel" the aircraft, as you describe, at least not directly. As to your comment about being in the minority, surely you are not saying <grin> that you simply take a poll before deciding what...

The volume is controllable. and the information about what your aircraft is doing aerodynamically is incredibly informative. It saves me from putting my eyeballs in the cockpit (to check airspeed), for numerous other reasons... Without looking at any other instruments, I can tell, just from the...

Don, Doesn't that depend on the flaps? I mean, putting trailing edge flaps out changes (increases) the angle of incidence of the wing. Yes the "new" wing will be able to go to a higher AOA than the clean wing, but that's measuring AOA relative to the Chord line of the wing, which has been tilted...

Generally, when I calibrate the AOA system, I try to set it up so that the AOA tone starts at L/D max and increases ( as AOA increases), to become a steady tone just below max AOA. Then you can use the onset of the uscillating tone as an L/D max indication.

At a minimum, can you reconfigure system to use only one of your screens? If so, I'd try to do that once with each of the two screens, and see if the audio panel issue is associated with only one of them... if that worked, you could at least save half the shipping/insurance costs...

Same problem! Happens with Foreflight on iPad and with iFlyGPS, on both iPad and multiple Android tablets.

Went into config settings changed AOA tone volume from 95% to 35% but headset volume did not change. Is this a recognized defect?

I also noticed definite volume increase in AOA tone. I have Dynon HDX, standard Dynon intercom, VHF transceiver, and Dynon AOA pitot tube system. If volume in config settings has no effect, is there some other way to adjust it?

On the software update page it specifically says not to perform updates when the system is only powered by the backup battery. It says to only do updates when on Aircraft or external power. What is the reason for this restriction? Is it only insurance to make sure you don't completely lose power...

I can't seem to reliably upload flight plans from my EFIS, (iFlyGLS on a Samsung Android tablet), into Skyview on my HDX. I know it's not the wifi because I see ADS-B traffic on the tablet just fine. Is there some setting in Skview that I am missing?

I have been using it since it was released, and am generally pleased. The last version was horrible, and this version seems to have corrected most of the issues I experienced with the prior one. (Download stopping in midstream over and over again, and having to be restarted was most annoying.)

So 16.3 is functionally identical, (or extremely similar), to 16.2, differing only in changes made to make it compatible with changes in hardware components? If so that would imply that those of us with 16.2 and pre-pandemic hardware need not bother to upgrade when it is released?
