Audio wires

[mmarien]

I recently sent my Skyview in for the audio fix and got it back with all the feature licenses missing.  :-[

They obviously get extracted along with the audio problem - just kidding. I was able to find the emails with the licenses and reloaded them. I also had to reload the Jeppesen database from a copy I had. So just a word of caution. It nice to see those extra features load up, but after the initial exhilaration fades save those license codes. The rest of the data (screen layouts, terrain models, etc.) seemed to be intact.

So after that introductory rhetoric, has anyone connected their Skyview to the PM1200? and is there the same background noise as the GPS495?

As another solution; I have the iCOM A210. It has audio connections. Can I bypass the PM1200 and connect Skyview directly to the iCOM?

Will be doing that in 2 days on an istall change from a BMA to SV - pm me if I don't get back to you.

To help with audio connections and issues, the following will be useful.

The Audio connections are shown in the http://www.dynonavionics.com/downlo...em_Installation_Guide-Rev_K_Software_v3.3.pdf on page 4-16.

There is a Technical Advisory Bulletin that describes an issue with some early SkyView Displays audio out. http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/support_bulletin_030512.html

Also, sorry for the loss of license info when some screens get sent to us. We're working on a process so that won't happen in the vast majority of cases.

Do know that we can always re-send you your license keys if you loose them, so it's not a major issue, although we know it's an annoyance you shouldn't need to deal with.

While it seems that DYNON does not suggest this, My audio from the SKVIEW to my Garmin 240 audio panel has been connected for about 18 months with no problems with noise. Now that I have 3.3 the sound is perfect.

Jake. Are you connecting to an iCOM A210? or to the PM1200? or something else?

Carl. Do you happen to have any of the Garmin handheld GPS units connected to the GMA240?

I believe this thread determined that there was a problem in connecting the GPS495 to the PM1200 but I don't know if we determined where the problem was or if there will be a problem connecting the SV to the PM1200. If there is I'd just as soon replace the PM1200 while I have the panel out.

No Garmin Portables connected. Just a panel mount 530, and SL 30.

SL40 to PM1200 & SV audio - have done a mod to 'defeat' the Intercom softmute
