Thanks. I’ve emailed them several times but no response. May have to call and see if they are interested in trouble shooting the issue.

I'm having an issue with my altitude hold on the STEC 30 autopilot. I do not have electric trim so I manually adjust to up/down trim notices. The issue is that after a few minutes I get a trim down indication that I adjust for, then a trim up indication that is followed by both trim up and...

I've upgraded my panel and have a gently used Open Solutions Flightbox for sale. Unit has the high gain antennae and remote mounting kit. I bought it assembled, no DYI guy here. Only used it a few times and no issues. Original purchase was $371. I'll take $175 and pay shipping to U.S. address.

Posted a nav/comm for sale and it has been sold. How do I remove that post from the classifieds? How do I remove this post? Thanks.

If anybody is interested, just listed a McCoy 1700 Nav/Comm on EBay. The MAC1700 is a slide in replacement for the KX170B and KX175. It was my primary comm until I upgraded the panel. Stores 10 pre-selects for comm and Nav. Voice synthesized timer, etc.

Update: after installing a new antenna, cooling fan, data card and replacement 430W provided by Garmin, the loss of signal persisted. The last thing I tried (wish it had been the first) was to disconnect the ELT antenna. Voila! No more problem. Apparently something on the ground near my...

If this is the issue I guess the big question is why is it only an issue for one airport. ???

Maybe. Mixed results with Butler in the past. Only sure thing is my wallet is a lot lighter when I leave. Gonna try the loaner 430W tomorrow. If all is well, then have to believe that it is my unit. Probably the next step would be to send it to Garmin. Will definitely have a thin wallet if that...

A lot of good responses. Some of it over my head but I will pass along to the avionics shop. They now have a loaner 430W they want me to try. Needless to say, if this one works fine then the problem is probably in my unit. I will post results. Thanks!

Wow! Sorry, but a lot of this is over my head. I do understand 3b and 3c and the location of the antenna is in compliance with those specs.

Could be, but the the various initial approach fixes where the GPS fails are 20+ miles apart. On the ground at home airport the signal is strong and reliable.

Thanks John. I'll certainly give the ELT issue a try and also keying the other com. Did not have any issues when I tried a non-WAAS replacement 430. My shop now has another WAAS 430 for me to try. Will post updates.

At only one location?? Good everywhere else.

Not sure I follow.

Probably an older ELT, but not transmitting. How can that interfere at only one location?

Two different antennae. Good everywhere else except my home base.

This is going to sound crazy, but please bear with me. I had a Garmin 430W installed in my Cherokee. Also installed a cooling fan and new WAAS antenna. I have tested it on numerous GPS approaches. Between 12-7 miles from my home airport (OJC) I lose all GPS signal. When I am within a mile or two...

No doubt that is an awesome unit, but cost is a big factor. Plus, I checked and installing the HSI would add $1,500 to the install price. Would need to slave the compass, etc. Nice idea though.
