How close were the serial numbers of the units JPI sent you? I wonder if they are have an issue with a certain batch of 930's. It would be nice to find a known good 930 and install it for troubleshooting in your plane and see what happens.

Got everything straightened out. Still need to take it outside to make sure it can acquire sats. All that is left is to reinstall interior and oil change.

Got this during totality next to KCGF. Camera is a 22+ year old Kodak Z710.

Totality in Cleveland, OH

Hardwired PTT. I played with the squelch and volume and went through all the different modes of ICS.

Just installed a GTN 650 and PMA6000B audio panel. Kept the existing MK170C I receive calls and can transmit on both radios but there is no intercom. I checked and rechecked wiring and also called PS Engineering. They couldn't help me. I did have the mic plugs wired incorrectly but I have...

Well that has crossed my mind. When I managed a CL300 with the upgraded PL21 Advanced avionics it needed to have a GPS signal or you had all kinds of crazy messages. I ran out of time and wasn’t able to pull it out side to test everything on Friday. I know the NAV splitter needs replaced and...

Finally had power on yesterday. All in all a good install. A couple of issues. One being I have a red X on the NAV and the NAV software shows _.__. I do have an older NAV splitter that is not compatible with the GTN but I can't confirm that is what is causing the red X on the NAV. I have the...

Made some progress today. Installed the GPS antenna doubler and started terminating wires. I fabricated a panel for the new avionics master switch and new circuit breakers.

Continuing with the avionics installation this week. Started on Monday with the GTN tray and harness install. Today we wired the audio control harness to the MX170C and fabricated the doubler for the GPS antenna. Things are going slower than I would like due to students being around and having...

Good idea. Where were you when I was putting together the parts order? :)

More wires are soon to come out as I removed the old intercom. Installed the tray and test fit the audio control panel. Waiting on parts to arrive from Aircraft Spruce on Monday to continue.

Todays progress. Started by closing up wing panels, replacing ELT batteries and testing ELT. Removed all trays except for one and removed all back plates and wires except for one. Will start install of new avionics tomorrow.

Unfortunately not. Manual states to install it on top. I'm just going to install the second GPS antenna.

I was just trying to avoid adding more holes to the fuselage. As far as Garmin is concerned, I purchased the unit used repaired with an 8130. It's out of warranty and I'm sure Garmin wont talk to me since i'm not a dealer. They wouldn’t even answer my question regarding the STC paperwork and...

Does anyone know if you can use coax splitter with a single GPS antenna for use with a Stratus ESG and a GTN 650? I have the Stratus ESG with a 42G15A-XT-1 GPS antenna.

Yeah, that will be fun. Today we did take out the trays but left the back plates in the airplane. Concentrated on jacking the plane and going through the wheels, brakes, and landing inspection. Tomorrow we will start removing the old wires and back plates in preparation of installing the new...

Well weather did not cooperate. Had my oral for the CFI on December 8th and didn’t finish the flight portion until February 3rd. Started the annual on the Cherokee this week with my students. Part of the job is to install the new avionics. Here is the one day progress.

Took a flight this evening and tested out the Insta 360 X3 camera mounted to the wingtip.

I'm installing a GTN 650, PMA6000B and GI-106A in our Cherokee last tow weeks of March during the annual. I wired everything up my self with my high school students. They will be performing the annual and the install of the avionics during their spring break. Helps that I'm the A&P, IA and CFI...
