    Dynon Previews Integrated IFR GPS Navigation Capability for SkyView HDX

    Well, in researching the published information from Dynon on this, it seems that I have answered my own question. If you look at IFR GPS NAVIGATION and click on the second question "What hardware and data is required to make this work?" it says: "To enable IFR navigation, customers will simply...

    Dynon Previews Integrated IFR GPS Navigation Capability for SkyView HDX

    Also, can anyone say whether this capability will use an existing SV-GPS-2020 GPS receiver, or will it require a separate GPS antenna?

    Compatible charger for D3?

    Yes, the port will be on the same CB that the other USB charging ports are on. The other ports are for charging tablets & other devices so they are larger more capable chargers, positioned on the side walls where space is not as much of an issue. And all the CBs on the CB bus are switched with...

    Compatible charger for D3?

    Will panel mount USB-C charger port with only 2 leads (5v only, without power negotiation capability) work with D3?

    GPS Altitude

    In principle, I agree. I would also look at the Dynon D30, which is similar to and more of a competitor to the Garmin G5. However, when I originally planned my new panel, I compared all the options, and based on price and end goals, decided on the D3. My reasoning: I have decided, as a policy...

    GPS Altitude

    Rhino, I think we can agree on this fine point. We have drifted here into the realm of Philosophical Epistemology. In the real world, no measurement is perfect, and things always change. The world is not black and white. This is always the case, and it will always be the case, we assume...

    GPS Altitude

    Marc, Yes, this is exactly what I was interested in. The answer (< 156 m) is larger than I would like, but it answers my question. On the other note, .. according to my reference, GPS systems use the WGS84 ellipsoid. But this must be implemented in the algorithm that determines altitude...

    GPS Altitude

    Rhino, Yes, you are correct; all the points you mention are true. They are, obviously, true for every altitude sensor, regardless of the technology. The FAA nevertheless manages to publish reliable maximum allowable errors for all altimeter technologies, including GPS, (to determine...

    GPS Altitude

    "No GPS derived altitude can be 100% accurate 100% of the time, due to several factors..." Of course. Nothing can be 100% accurate 100% of the time, even if it's from the most accurate instrument created by mankind in all of history. Is that really what you thought I was asking for? No, I was...

    GPS Altitude

    Is the GPS altitude displayed by the D3 with respect to MSL? or above a statandarized earth ellipsoid (specifically WGS84) like other non-aviation commercial GPS receivers, (cell phones etc.) And more specifically, how accurate is it? Does it use WAAS (if it's available?)

    SV-AUDIO-6BTR

    Hopefully a Dynon Tech will answer definitively, but I suspect not. I would think the wires on both pre-built standard HDX wire harnesses will be internally connected in parallel to their mates on the other wiring harness. i.e., both HDX displays will share the information on each of the 5...

    SV-AUDIO-6BTR

    Ahh, it's too bad that Dynon only put 5 serial ports in the HDX. I suspect it would require a hardware change to add more... Or they would have updated the Skyview software by ow to do it.

    SV-AUDIO-6BTR

    And just for reference, for those readers who may not already know, there are 5 serial, (RS-232), ports available in the SkyView system. In most (fully populated), installations, three of these will be spoken for by the following components: 1: SV-XPNDR-261 Transponder 2...

    SV-AUDIO-6BTR

    Awesome! Please confirm that based on the fact that it is a remote component, (that integrates with the main HDX screen through modifications to the HDX display software - new display, configuration and management screens, etc.), therefore, other than the physical installation of the new remote...

    SV-AUDIO-6BTR

    Will this remote dual COM management panel support any COM and/or COM/NAV radio as the second radio? Specifically, will it support the Garmin GNC215, integrated with Skyview over one of the five serial port channels ?

    Wifi adapter requirements

    Foxless, Thanks for this info... I suspected as much. I had (back 7 years ago) installed a complete HDX suite with the older compact WIFI adapter. I sold that plane and am now installing HDX Skyview in my new plane, (it's a pusher canard aircraft called a Berkut), but I don't like the newer...

    Wifi adapter requirements

    Can any Wifi adapter (Assume limited to USB 3.0), be used with SkyView HDX? If not what properties/features/capabilities does a commercially available adapter need to have to work with SkyView?

    What does the Shunt do?

    Yes, this is not just an Analogy. It is exactly what Voltage and Current are. Current is the number of electrons that move through the wire per unit of time, and voltage is the force that is pushing them. Ohms's law makes that clear. Current = Voltage [V] / Resistance[R], or V= IR

    What does the Shunt do?

    It's analogous to measuring flow in a pipe by measuring the drop in pressure from one point in the pipe to another that is a fixed, known distance downstream from the first point. As the flow increases (imagine a valve on the output of the pipe), the pressure drop across a fixed segment of the...
