    Dual XGPS150A troubleshooting

    Update on this. A couple of things I tried to verify the XGPS unit itself was working: 1. Installed the Apple version of the 'SkyPro GPS Status Tool' I mentioned in OP, on my iPhone and moved the notch over to the right on my GPS unit. I was able to connect via bluetooth and see all the...

    Dual XGPS150A troubleshooting

    Thanks for the suggestions! yes - I've also tried to toggle that secure switch. After doing all that I had tried that SkyPro GPS tool hoping I'd get some useful info from there. I'll try to get that firmware update done and see if it fixes anything.

    Dual XGPS150A troubleshooting

    Yes that thought crossed my mind so I did try that already but it didn't help. When I disconnect the XGPS, on the 'map' page of Avare I do see the Houston map load and puts the plane icon at my location appropriately... it's when connecting XGPS that the map page goes 'haywire' (in that it...

    Dual XGPS150A troubleshooting

    Yep - when I mentioned in OP about seeing the data flowing that's the exact screen I was referencing: gone into IO tab, selected bluetooth from dropdown , selected XGPS150 unit within the green box, clicked on 'connect' and the data log starts flowing at the bottom with all 0 values. I did not...

    Dual XGPS150A troubleshooting

    Fair question - I do have full visibility of the sky, the GPS light flickers constantly as it has always done. Also in the past, this device has never had issue streaming accurate coordinates even when I'm indoors at home or in the briefing room at flight school. I reached out to Dual support...

    Dual XGPS150A troubleshooting

    After missing a few months of flight time, finally got my biannual flight review done and am ready to fly again. For many years I have used Google Nexus 7 2013 tablet with Avare + Avare I/O external plugin to connect with XGPS150a GPS unit for position data. That tablet broke a while ago and I...

    Want To Buy WTB - QT Halo Triple Flange eartips

    Thanks @Timbeck2 I had not poked around on Amazon but the ones you linked to do seem to match. The other pair I ordered came in but i haven't done any tests yet to see how they compare. I'll try to do a side by side comparison of these and post back here over the weekend.

    Want To Buy WTB - QT Halo Triple Flange eartips

    TLDR - Looking for the triple flange style original rubber eartips for QT Halo. I've had the QT halo for about 5 years. It came with eartips of different styles/types - foam, rounded, triple flange. The only ones that fit my ear canal comfortably were the triple flange style rubber ear tips...

    I have a Bose QC25 headset and thinking about trying out the uFlyMike. Not sure if they run any sales at this time of year... figured I'd ask here if someone has a lightly used one they might want to part with.

    San Diego area recommendations?

    Thanks for the recommendations! I'll take a look at all of them - a biplane ride has definitely been on the list for quiet some time but I may actually scratch that one on another trip elsewhere this weekend.

    San Diego area recommendations?

    Cool - thanks. This being a fun flight on a vacation, I definitely would go up with a CFI... on these types of flights I like to be lazy and just let someone who knows the airspace/landmarks, etc handle the nav and comms and just enjoy flying the plane and taking in the scenery (avoid doing...

    San Diego area recommendations?

    Last year I was visiting LA and posted here asking for recommendations for a good FBO/fun flight in the area. Ended up going to one of the recommended airports and doing a flight out to Catalina Island that was very unique and a lot of fun. So here I am, asking again... I'll find myself in...
