    about automatic direction system

    If you were to go to an avionics shop you'd see that they actually test ADF receivers by installing a 'known good' antenna in an antenna signal simulator, and then feed a signal generator into this same simulator box. The antenna is then physically rotated inside the simulator box to simulate...

    grid heading

    OK, I'll take a shot at this since I've had to fly 'grid' more than I'd like to admit... Picture this... Here you are, sitting on the runway in the far north in Nunavut, east of the magnetic north pole. Let's assume you want to fly back home to the sunny south. While you've got your airplane...

    Thanks for the reply to my question. I'll fly with it a while then send it back. "Just like we said earlier, we don't expect to be able to ship the brighter screens until early September, which is still a few weeks off." Since we're exactly a week away from early September, not "a few weeks"...

    2006 Oshkosh Announcements

    Dear Dynon Support, My brand new EFIS D100 has arrived at my dealer but needs to be retrofitted with SuperBright glass. So far my dealer has only been told that production quantities of the new glass haven't yet been received by Dynon, so scheduling of retrofits is, at best, a best guess...

    2006 Oshkosh Announcements

    Dear DynonSupport, Once again, thank you for your honest answers. I cruised around on these discussion pages a while before even giving consideration to a purchase. A great product is nothin' if it doesn't have best-in-class support. What I've seen in these discussions reflects the kind of...

    2006 Oshkosh Announcements

    Dear DynonSupport, Thanks for the explanation on the display. Transmissivity improvements normally come at the cost of colour saturation. Is there any noticeable washout of colours or loss of contrast as the brightness is cranked up with the new glass? Also, I have one other series of...

    I should add that with less than 100 watts of generating capacity on my aircraft, making double the brightness without increasing current draw is VERY good news indeed! Mark Davis DA-2A C-GJOY

    2006 Oshkosh Announcements

    Thanks, Dynon Support, for your clear and concise answers to my questions. I like the answers very much, even if I don't fully understand the physics behind them. More brightness without more power...Hmmm! I've already asked my dealer to hold my order 'til September to get the new display...

    2006 Oshkosh Announcements

    Why is it that I always seem to be the King of Bad Timing?!?!?!? :-? I ordered my EFIS D100 a couple of weeks ago through our local distributor and he provided me last week with an estimated delivery date of mid-August. I've been bitten before, so was a little shy to place my order. So shy...

    ADF 180 deg.

    Steve, You've provided precious little information to allow anybody to assist you. You haven't supplied the ADF make or model, or any other data, so at best anybody's response would be a best guess. I'll throw in a little suggestion here in hopes that it helps. When you describe the antenna...

    Alternate Screen Layout Ideas

    Hmmm, interesting topic... I'll cast a vote in here too, in hopes that DynonSupport is listening. Keep in mind that I refer primarily to the D100 in this discussion, but believe the same should apply to the D10 display. I am fully supportive of moving the digital data box to the middle of the...
