    Database provider disappointment

    Well, I've long been disappointed with Seattle Avionics refusal to develop a simple OS app for installing the databases on Macs. It's like they are stuck in the IBM 80's. Now with Airmate providing exactly this, for a third of the cost I have to suggest that Seattle Avionics isn't going to be...

    Skyview US Aviation/Obstacle Data Update Contents

    Is there anywhere that lists the contents of what is updated with the US Aviation/Obstacles data from Dynon? My biggest singular annoyance of EFIS data systems is they need to be updated monthly, most often while I'm flying around the continent. I really do not want to carry a PC solely for...

    SkyView AOA and L/D Max

    Does anybody know where in the AOA display is reflecting L/D Max being flown? L/D Max varies but not substantially with respect to AOA so knowing this gives one a good baseline for max range along with a few other things like best glide.

    AOA/Pitot Probe questions

    Sirs, My AOA/Pitot probe has an unusual history in that it was given to me by you guys as a test unit when you were first developing them. As I remember I was up in Arlington working with Doug Medema on the compass calibration routine and he gave it to me to temporarily install. He then sent...

    D1000 to GMA 340 volume deafening.

    I have chosen to install my Skyview into the GMA 340 music port 1 because it is muted during all other communication. Frankly in SoCal airspace radio communications are far more important than most of the reasons the Skyview wants to blather at me about. However, the D1000 output is deafening...

    Skyview Manual ARINC improvement suggestion

    I'm upgrading my panel which had one of the early D10 EFIS (subsequently upgraded to a D10-A) and one of the first publicly sold D10EMS's. I will eliminate the EMS, keep the D10-A and add a D1000 Skyview Classic. I've spent quite a few nights getting lost in the manual (and falling asleep) while...

    Using Skyview GPS as source for D10-A GPS in

    Is it possible to use a parallel output from the SV-250, or one of the D1000 TX ports to supply the GPS source for a D10-A? I've stared at so many possible options for connecting all the parts I'm bringing together that I'm getting a little dizzy. Thx, W

    GTX 327 Data out to Skyview?

    The Skyview manual says "SkyView can display the status of the Garmin GTX 327 and Garmin GTX 330 / 330ES transponders. To use this functionality with SkyView: • Wire a serial receive line to the respective transmit line on the transponder. If you have more than one SkyView display, make the same...

    D10A and D10EMS differing voltages

    Question... I seem to be having a strange voltage ghost going on. The EMS is saying I have low voltage at 12.1-13.4, which is lower than the regulator setting of 13.68v. But my load shunt from the generator is reading 14-20 amps charging from the alternator. And the part I'm not sure about is...

    SV-COM-C25 radio gain issue

    This radio has a receiver gain automatic suppression feature that is really annoying. When flying parade formation where the antenna's might be 20 ft apart the transmissions received are greatly reduced to the point of not being able to hear them. If I slip the aircraft so there is not line of...

    Engage Altitude Hold only

    I'm not finding the method for how to engage only the altitude hold servo without engaging the directional/roll servo? The AP button and Level button engage both. Toggling to alt hold in the screen commands arms pitch for altitude hold but also arms roll. The answer is probably so obvious I...

    Maintenance Log - clearing item

    Since I just updated to the latest version (02/2021) of Classic SW my 7" is flagging that a maintenance item has expired but none of them have expired or are red indicating expiration. I also decided to delete most of them and this did not clear the "message" flag? I'm not finding any...

    Skyview and aerobatics

    The attached links to a short video I did of the Skyview in simple aerobatics and in the second loop you'll see it gets a bit lost and does not fully recover in roll for about 20 seconds. The other loops shown in the video it does do better. I also find my D10 has a similar intermittent...

    E/P-Mag Timing Data on Dynon EMS products

    Has anyone ever thought about suggesting Dynon and E-mag work together to allow the EMS product line to display timing data on the EMS screen, and include it in the HP calculations? It would also be wonderful data for the black box records. Just thinking out loud here.

    SV-COM C25 Modulation Question

    My SV-COM seems to have a modulation issue that is problematic. When the other transmitter is really close, as in formation flying the transmitted audio starts loud very briefly, but then goes really low and distorted. This makes it impossible to receive fairly important transmissions while in...

    D10A and EMS no longer connects to PC

    OK, so, as of about a year ago something changed that will not allow either unit to connect to download data, view version, etc. Both were updated to the latest versions in late 2016. I used my Mac/Bootcamp/Win8 and the Dynon serial cable, which has worked fine since new. Now this no longer...

    Wind Vector Variations between D10 and Skyview

    I regularly fly formation with another like airplane RV-3 and RV-8, mine has a Skyview, the other has a D-10. Both have the latest upgrades although the problem has persisted since we first noticed it. Both have been swung per Dynon compass swing procedures. The problem is with both planes in...

    SV-COM-25 Squelch Adjustment

    I am still greatly dissatisfied with the squelch control of the SV-COM-25. I have to keep it at 67 to prevent unsolicited squelch breaks but this setting causes it to cut out many, often critical transmissions. I can't hear other airplanes on the ground at my airport less than 5000 feet away...

    Relocate buttons

    Would it be possible to reconfigure buttons so the info button in maps ends being the same button one uses to migrate radio information to the radio? That way one just has to push the same button twice, which I'm finding is one of the more common things done in maps.

    SV-COM radio a bit weak

    Folks, I've been flying with the SV-COM radio for about 120 hours now on a new RV-3 and am wondering about transmission and reception range expectations. Generally I cannot receive ATIS transmission from more than about 15-20 miles with the SV-COM even with the unit in no-squelch mode. I've not...
