Did my back up battery check on 1 May of this year (2021). Today when I started up, I had a message that my back up battery test was needed. WTF? Thought this was a yearly check? Short of doing another test, how do I get rid of this?

The 175 has a great on line trainer. I have the G175 connected to my Skyview D1000. I also have a Val Nav 2000 for my ILS/VOR needs. Both the G175 and Val work and play well with the Dynon for a very reasonable price. Plus the Val takes up almost no panel space. I am sure in a 10 you could...

Agree with Lancair360. I just use my Dynon GPS 2020. One little note. I thought I was good at making antenna wires (did them for everything else in my plane) however my G175 did not like my antenna wire. Had to have a local avionics shop make me one. Not sure why my Garmin thinks I suck at...

Got this from Jeff in Dynon support when I wired mine last year. Hope it helps

Not trying to beat a dead horse (too late) but even if you download ALL Plates (which I did) the dates of charts that have not changed still were 28 days or one cycle behind. After a chat with the local FSDO they said "ignore" is probably a poor choice of words for a charting company to use...

I actually do still have my Jeppesen Airway Manual from 1980 (yes I'm old). I do remember that they only sent out the procedures that change. The issue here seems to be that we are running one cycle behind. The procedure for KUSE RNAV (GPS) RWY 9, the procedure date is 24 May18, but on the...

I am confused. How can they be current if the date on the side of the approach plate is from the previous cycle? I get the orig date on the lower left will most likely be from several years back if it is a simple approach into a po-dunk airport like the one I fly out of. However the date on the...

Jnmeade hit the nail on the head. No ambiguity, just the facts ma'am. If somewhere it says "must" or "must not" then you follow it, or you are outside the regs. Otherwise it is up to you to decide. An opinion is not regulatory. While I choose to put my antenna's outside my engine...

Flew several GPS approaches this weekend. AP is much smoother. Especially intercepting VNAV and on the GA. Whoever did the AP tuning in the update did a good job. Works really well in my plane, she likes it!

I have a VAL 2000 and Skyview (also now have a Garmin 175) but before I added the Garmin I would practice in VFR doing waypoints in the Skyview flight plan to the IAP and then the FAF. As I recall once you get on the final if you have VNAV armed it will capture on its own or you can then select...

Agree totally in regards to Jeff in support. When I was working on installing a Garmin G-175 with my Dynon, Jeff knew more then Garmin support did about their own product. Every time I called in the recent past it has been Jeff answering the phone and he has always had the answer. Don't know...

Having re-written many large military manuals in my day I can feel your pain. Once you start changing things it affects everything down stream. Nothing worse then missing that one sentence in the middle of the manual that does reflect or conflicts with the updated changes. I am sure that...

Been waiting years for Dynon to pull the trigger on a TSO'd GPS. Finally decided on the Garmin 175, along with a VAL 2000 for ILS capability. Both work great with a Skyview. The bottom line from my talking with them back when we use to have an Oshkosh get together was that the cost to develop...

Page 16-14, sorry

See page 16-4 in the Install manual (On Dynon website, under product information). Briefly here is what should happen. •Go to SETUP MENU > SYSTEMSETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE > (right click) > DETECT (button).•The SV-COM-C25 will be listed as SV-COM-PANEL.• FINISH (button) > EXIT...

Just installed the Garmin 175 in my RV-8A. Ordered it from Aircraft Spruce along with their 4 foot Experimental pigtail. As stated above works great with the Skyview displaying all information. Issues that I had: 1. While outside of wire bundles were clearly marked on pigtail there was no...

Thanks fella's. I think I have it isolated to the Intercom box. If the Dynon radio is offline and I only have the Intercom plugged in the static is there. So I think it is the wiring of the intercom box. Taking it to an avionics shop tomorrow for the 91.411/413 checks and will ask them a few...

Have previously isolated it to the Garmin 530. Garmin on=Static, Garmin off= No Static. The knuckleheads that wired this put the control heads next to the Garmin and the Comm Box right under the Garmin. In talking to Dynon tech reps (Jeff, who is great by the way) 2 feet of separation is...

Trying to sell an RV-8A (not my plane, selling for a deceased friend) with a Garmin 530 and a Dynon comm radio installed. The folks that did the wiring work accepted the loud static on the Dynon radio from the 530. I have tried to move the control heads away from the Garmin but no difference...

Did I miss something or are we going on 13 months with no updates? I know Covid this and Covid that, but 13 months? Is this the new normal? If so just let us know. As an experimental guy maybe I am just not feeling the love.
