Walt, what is you meaning regarding first time posters?
My RV was professionally built and we took delivery in Nov 2014. I have about 80 hours on it and the plane has flow 350hours. The external GPs is the 650. It has been flawless up until now. Steve at Garmin has been extremely helpful and the builders have gone through the avionics. We did a software update. We also had a GPS reception problem at the same time, so have now installed a 3rd GPS antenna. |

Sure its a hardware issue and not remedial with a software update?

It sounds like the GSU73 may be mounted on a surface that has too much flex and vibration. I have both a GSU73 and GSU25 and have never seen a hardware failure in 650+ hours. I do suggest dual ahars if using your aircraft in IMC.

Intermittent OAT
I had a GSU25 issue where the OAT was intermittent. It would show up some days and other days it would have a big red X through it. Seemed highly unlikely to be a problem with the system so I checked my wiring numerous times. I measured the proper resistance values across the pins every time. I consulted with Garmin and although they were also skeptical at first (I don't blame them, I'm sure 95% of the time it IS a builder / wiring issue) they eventually sent me a replacement through Steinair and the issue went away. OAT comes up every time I switch on the system now! I was very happy with Team X help to troubleshoot the issue and the resolution of sending out a new GSU25 which solved the problem.
