Hi, I have just logged on to start searching for info about exactly this problem. Maybe my experience will add to the knowledge of the problem.
In my aircraft (RV6A) I have a Garmin GNC250XL panel mount, and an externel bracket on which I can mount the Garmin GPSMap 296 from my Foxbat aircraft, for backup on long flights.
I have had this Lost Nav Source problem intermittently now ever since I installed the Autopilot a few years ago. So I don't think it is related to the new software version. BUT, the problem only occurs when the souce is the GNC250XL, and NEVER when the souce is the GPSMap 296.
Whenever the Lost NavSrc message occurs, you can immediately press NAV again and it reconnects, every single time. It may drop out a few seconds later or 45 mins later, you can't tell.
I was thinking it might be interference getting in the wiring between the GPS and the Dynon, so I rewired with twisted shielded wire the easiest accessible parts, not 100%, but may be 75% of the wiring run between the units. Today I proved that hadn't made any difference. I am now wondering if it is my mobile phone which was in my pocket and switched on during todays flight.
Any comments?
