I'm finally getting around to calibrating my Skyview on my near-complete aircraft. I understand there's a process to fuel level calibration which starts at both tanks empty. My a/c has exactly 5 litres in each tank - I was asked to put this fuel in by my build inspector - is there any way I can...

Hi, thanks, I haven't updated for a while - I'm probably still on v12. I'll update it to v14 today. The engine has never been started - and the battery, which has never been alternator-charged, is connected to what I'd call a 'trickle charger'. What I've noticed is the following - Aircraft...

Hi, Has anyone ever seen this SV behaviour before? D1000 display pulsing / flashing - See the video I uploaded to youtube, https://youtu.be/qtekFF9a28M Background: EMS and EFIS installed and working fine. This unit has been installed in my homebuilt (which hasn't flown yet) for some years...

Jake, I'm not an RF Engineer :-[

I've tested the SV unit running from a separate 12v battery and, as before, it creates a massive amount of RF Interference picked up by my radio. I think this means it's not conducted interference. NB: I think the SV unit connects the casing to ground, which means that ground is shared between...

@ Dynon support, given the previous posts in this chain, do you have any further suggestions for this particular problem? As you'll see from reading my posts above, I have tried your suggestions #1 and #2 (both 'pass'); although I have a backup battery I am unable to use it as it does not ever...

Thanks Chris.

Hi, I don't see where my other posts went... I have tried terminating at the radio connector (to the feedline) - no noise. I have tried terminating at the aerial's connection - no noise. I've bought and installed a new COM antenna (a CI-121) - connected, same amount of noise as before. :'(...

Posted this on another thread by mistake... Hi, I have terminated at the radio - no additional noise. Termination at the antenna - no additional noise. I think this rules out the radio (shielding), the antenna feedline (and connections/terminations) and electrically-conducted RF. Connecting...

Hi, thanks for your help. The aircraft is a (mostly) metal Tecnam Sierra P2002. I will test the handheld with / without aerial tonight but I think the problem is that neither the handheld nor the panel radio are sufficiently shielded to radiated EMI to co-exist with the skyview unit. I...

Thanks everyone for your responses. Obviously smashing up my equipment is something I want to do when the frustration really kicks in and I'm extremely frustrated by this. :'( The reason I've been using a handheld is because I see these symptoms on the panel mounted radio and I needed a second...

Just so that you know, I was not able to resolve this. The unit came back marked 'repaired' by Dynon but with no actual change in behaviour. I am an engineer by trade and I'm struggling to understand this. When I put a handheld (iCom transciever) next to a 'fresh' D1000 unit in my local...

I took my SV-1000 display unit in to the local avionics dealership in Edinburgh and we could replicate the problem within the store using a handheld radio (SV display only, no network). The unit has now been returned to Dynon HQ (under warranty). If this RF output problem, caused by the...

Thanks everyone! If I find a perfect solution I'll post it back here! =bill

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had fitted an enclosure around their ammeter shunt, given that, as supplied, there's a fair amount of current which can be readily touched and thus it provides a danger in most firewall-forward installations. Ideally I'm looking for a supplier that provides...

Dynon support have been kind enough to send me the Skyview EMI kit but that has made little difference. To illustrate the problem I have posted a video on youtube, see: http://youtu.be/ewbP3V5Av2I Anyone any further ideas? I can't "go live" like this! Could there be something wrong...

Hey there, thanks for the response; I'll call support today or tomorrow. In the interim I replaced my antenna feedlines with RG142 and professionally fitted connectors, which has made little difference. Not surprising given the problems I've had with the handheld ICOM radio near the SV unit! My...

I'm worried about RF output from the Skyview display, rather than coax interference to the SV network... I've found that my single SV display (not EMS or ADAHRS) is creating huge amounts of RF interference which disrupts even my ICOM handheld (tuned to a local ATIS on 131.35) up to 10 feet away...

@Gundy, It may be that your Skyview system is configured with your connected devices (i.e. EMS or AHRS) as portsel_xxxx=INSTR_PORT_SIMULATOR instead of portsel_xxxx=INSTR_PORT_REMOTE where xxxx is ahrs, ems, etc. The former in your global settings file will  that the SV display uses...
