    Position Source 1 fail -Diagnosing the problem / how to use different GPS source in the interim

    Oh, OK. I was thinking the 430W was providing your position source. No worries

    Position Source 1 fail -Diagnosing the problem / how to use different GPS source in the interim

    I have had several of the Garmin GPS antennas fail over the last year. If you get the message, have a look at your 430W satellites page. If you have no satellites all of a sudden, then your antenna is toast. It starts intermittently, where all the sats drop off, but are fairly quickly regained...

    Screw size for Pitot Tube to Pitot mount mast

    Yes, 6/32 is the go. I drilled the mast first, then inserted the pitot tube in and marked it. Then drill the pitot tube in a drill press. It's a bit fiddly to get the hole angles correct, but as mentioned above, there is lots of good info around.

    Air Temperature Sensor

    I don't know if the grill sensor would work, but the below if from the manual. It can't hurt to hook it up to the general purpose temp sensor pins and try different configurations.

    OAT sensor- removable connectors?

    You didn't mention if it was Skyview or not. With the OAT probe supplied for the ADAHRS unit, it has the connector not installed, just loose wires with the pins on the end. Connector goes on after the wires are fed through. If you are using microfit connectors, can you do the same thing?

    EGT labels

    I'm pretty sure you can set it up with the labels you want in the 50% page, depending on which widgets you choose. In the bottom band display I've not seen it, probably due to space limitations, and there would be a confusing amount of numbers.

    SV-GPS-2020 Verification

    You can also go to Setup > Local Display Setup > GPS Fix Status and see its status, even if it doesn't have satellites

    760 Transceiver fail

    Get someone to SWR check your antenna from the transceiver end (so coax and antenna together) If your SWR is way out, it will damage the radio. Most modern radios have protection built in, I don't know if the 760 does or not. I know with the older radios, if you transmitted into very high SWR...

    sv-bat-320 unavailable

    I have had one of the little black 3 wire connectors for the backup battery fail before. By disconnecting/reconnecting and wiggling, I could get the fault to appear and disappear.

    D180 After repair, OAT NOT FOUND

    That's for the three wire OAT probe. The two wire is connected to the EFIS, not the magnetometer

    D180 After repair, OAT NOT FOUND

    With the 2 wire probe, one lead will be to ground, and the other to one of your GP Inputs on the DB37 connector of the EFIS. Since you measured through the probe from the connector, have a look at what pin number the OAT wire is going to (4, 22 or 23), and see which GP input that corresponds to...

    Kavlico pressure sensors reading ~130 psi with zero psi

    You didn't mention what engine you are installing to (Rotax, Lycoming, etc) I've not seen any mention of a resistor on those wires for these sensors. Pin 7 is oil temperature, not pressure.

    Compass 180 deg off

    Mirrored means it is working correctly, just 180 degrees out, like looking in a mirror. Have a look in setup, and make sure the magnetometer is seen in the device list, and online. The ADAHRS module also has an internal magnetometer, which can be reverted to if the MAG-236 magnetometer is not...
