I am trying to add a second voltage widget to my HDX screen, to monitor the voltage output of my alternator, using pin 2 (yellow wire), on the EMS-220 DB-37. I hooked up the yellow wire from the EMS-220 DB-37 wire harness (pin 2), to the point where I wanted to monitor the voltage, (alternator...

But is it legally (FAA legal), required to be continuously monitoring the ident? I mean if you check and validate the ident with SCAN off on the primary frequency, (the one you're using to navigate, say an ILS), then can't you then turn SCAN on to monitor the standby freq and still be legal...

Ken, yes, actually, it is (perfectly clear). And, as I read the Vega manual, you can quickly toggle the Scan on and off, which means you could put the more significant frequency, (the one you are currently using for IFR navigation, like the ILS on an approach), in primary and the less important...

Well, much information there. Thanks! I was assuming that the Skyview could only display data from the primary frequency. I was assuming that the N16 had two receivers, one for primary freq and one for the Standby. I guess I should have understood the way it really works from the word "Scan"...

I made (what I now suspect was a mistake) of purchasing the VAL Nav 2000 VOR/ILS Nav radio, which integrates with Skyview like an SL30. It works great, and I am very pleased with it, but the MGL Vega with N16 remote VHF Nav radio seems like a better option, for about the same price. I can...

Tried again today, and display is still functioning normally. I am emailing you as well. Do you want logs or diagnostics files?

Update: I tried to boot up the display one more time, after about an hour or two, and it now works, and the update was successful. I am leaving this [post here in case anyone else experiences similar symptoms. I am somewhat concerned as to why this happened... Obviously, if whatever caused...

Tried to load the latest update file this morning (SkyView_16_0_8_US_Package_HDX1100_Dec02.duc , from 2 Dec), and it failed. It ran for about 4-5 minutes, (re booted once that I saw), and got to the point where it was cleaning databases, then screen went dark then light Grey but nothing else...

Yes, although I have been told the SV-GPS-2020 does a lot that a simple position-only GPS does not do. As I understand it, many items displayed on the Skyview HDX are calculated/generated inside the SV-GPS-2020. I'm not sure if the Skyview would be able to duplicate that functionality if the...

So - another solution would be - with the SV transponder, GPS (SV-GPS- 2020) and ADS-B in, using three of the five serial ports, you could install a Garmin GNC-355 as both a secondary COM transceiver AND a certified GPS navigator, and then still have one serial port left over for an N16/Vega...

Does that mean that current product is not hardware-capable of being software-upgradable? Let me rephrase. If at some point in the future, Dynon decided to add one or more features to the D3, is the current product capable of being so upgraded with only a software upgrade, or would it require...

Marc, Yes to both, that was my first assumption as well. Nathan at B&C was awesome in helping me diagnose and test it, but nothing was obvious. I had an LR3C-14, (Rev C), and B&C offers free upgrades to the LR3D-14 (Rev D), so I spoke with Nathan about getting it upgraded and bench-tested to...

Connected one remaining ground to aircraft ground, and still getting over voltage (up to 15.4 volts), out of alternator. When I wired up new high quality multimeter to same place that Dynon EMS was sampling voltage, I discovered that readings were within 0.1 volts of one another. So Dynon EMS is...

The only ground connected to battery ground is the case ground, (attached to a ground post on the SV-EMS-220 case). Does one of the DB-37 pins labeled Ground also need to be connected to aircraft ground? Dynon tech told me all these were for output of ground signal for individual engine sensors...

Well! That's an awesome idea. I'd have to change the wiring in the engine compartment, (and I'd have to find the yellow lead in the DB-37 for pin 2), but both pin 1 and pin 2 can be used for a voltage input. Perhaps I should add another widget to the HDX Screen hooked up to pin 2, and wire that...

Add a large horizontal glide slope deviation indicator to the HSI, so it looks like a regular CDI, instead of the little glide slope bar thing on the right edge.

Yes, I think I agree. That is where I was going next. I was going to check all the relevant wiring to the EMS. How (from what), does the EMS generate the voltage value? Pin 1 (red), on the D37F harness is connected to the battery bus, but this needs to be compared with ground. I would assume...

I have Skyview HDX with EMS-220 computer. Recently I had errratic voltage indications on my HDX. The voltage would intermittently jump up from it's normal 14.4-14.5 volts reading to 14.9-15.2, with associated audible "high voltage" warnings. At first this was intermittent. The high voltage...

I believe it would be a significant improvement in the usability of the system if they put a three-part segmented horizontal bar on the HSI depiction that came into view upon interception of the Glide slope, as the tiny GS indicator currently does. This is how the ILS indicators on the HSI...

Great! Even without details, that's significant, way better than just attitude, and GPS ground track, speed and altitude. Any hope that a future update might include more Terrain details? Like airfields and/or runway depictions? Is the D3 software programmable/upgradeable such that current...
