    GPS signal loss

    Same as your other post - Other than a 'box' issue the easiest checks are for an intermittent connection. Are there any butt splices or spade connectors involved ? I'd also spray the connections with contact cleaner.

    Tach connection cover: What can I use to cover the Tach drive on a Lycoming O-320 (since with Dynon we don't use it)?

    They are usually available for your favourite aviation supply store - unless it's on back-order like a few things nowadays :rolleyes: Would you believe a USA friend told me he could not get the copper spark plug washers from his store & another guy here said he was unable to get Lyc valve...

    Dynon NAV/COMM???

    Carl, I hear you however you know Dynon, & most smart businesses, don't 'announce' anything until it really is at least close to being on the market. Too many 'red faces' & vapour ware situations in the past for them to fall into that trap.;) In our country NDB's have almost disappeared & the...

    Pitot Heat

    Akash - IF the ‘fault sense’ wire is connected then the setup is in the install manual - if you don’t understand the manual then I’d be happy to give more info.

    Dynon NAV/COMM???

    I hear you Carl, my ‘Apollo’ (UPS AT) ‘stack’ was the first flying here, excellent equipment & I still have my SL30 & MX20. The rest I sold earlier & the GX60 was last to go ( display/chipset manufacturer stopped supplying them for whatever reason) . IMO the big G bought the Apollo line to kill...

    Swap HDX Left / Right Knob Functions?

    The Map knob goes with the map screen depending which side it’s on.

    D180 Altimeter seems to be out of calibration

    There are components that need to warm up - what you’re seeing is normal if it settles down later. The manual advises about this.

    EMS MODULE

    I think what Raymo meant to include is that 12v regulated OUT (if input is 12-24 volt) is on pin # 15, & 5 volt OUT is pin # 18 as per the manual. So Akash408, you are correct but only if you use the #15 (12vlt) & # 18 (5vlt) pins.

    Compass Calibration - Help please

    Ok, so you have done the ground cal & it says "Already have data for NORTH EAST SOUTH & WEST". Do the inflight Cal a GKC suggests - FWIW I'm never satisfied unless the 'counter' hits at least 125 despite the manual suggesting lower than that is okay. Try not to be too accurate with your turns...

    D100 - AP74 - AVMAP 4

    Try also Static Navigation= ON, External NMEA=ON (default is OFF), & BOD. Page 91 of the Avmap manual gives info re GPS fix & page 51 gives info re current status of available satellites - if that's all good then I'd also make sure the 2.5mm output cable is fully plugged in & that its also not...

    Compass Calibration - Help please

    Try just pressing a cardinal button just once & wait for approx 15 seconds until it says its done, then continue.

    Heated pitot modification

    Yep, that will work if you can support it at the back end - not ideal though & maybe untidy. surely there is a better solution 🤔

    Adding D100 to D180

    Terry, The order of connections doesn’t matter, just join green to green & blue to blue. Just make sure you Do a dsab Configure & all the components are ’seen’. Pitot/StaticAOA connections to both screens ? I would consider it as it will give you redundancy if 1 of the screens fail. If going...

    B/U battery SV-BAT-320 location in 2018 FDCT?

    The battery will be within 2ft of the SV as that is how long the wiring supplied in the D37 connector is, if the wiring has been 'modified' (made longer) then this bet is off.

    SV-GPS-2020 mounting under the cowling?

    Just a qualification here - if it’s a composite airframe with no aluminium or metal other than the firewall blocking the signal then you will nave good satellite signal. Having the antenna close to the top cowl & 2-3” away from the firewall works too on any ‘metal‘ airframes - if you want to...

    SV-GPS-2020 mounting under the cowling?

    I agree about the closeness to other antennas - that applies to all sorts of transmitting/receiving antennas as the performance CAN (not WILL) be affected, so there is risk there. Mounting Gps antenna under the cowl - I deliberately mounted mine there knowing what MAY happen & am prepared to pay...

    Adding D100 to D180

    Just connect as per D100 install manual & configure the DSAB - should be good to go, I've done the same in reverse order.

    Cessna AOA

    Same basic location as where the original Pitot was mounted sounds reasonable to me ;)

    GTN 650xi vs IFD 540

    They both work - IMO & an ex Avionics Service Manager it's the warranty & after warranty repairs that are of more interest to me & whether a manufacturer discontinues supporting a product. Obviously there is a size & feature difference between them however is the big 'PRO' here is the warranty...
