Default Snafu at SNF

I went to the Pacific Coast booth at SNF and they have no idea about this software upgrade deal. Uh oh. I will swing by the Garmin folks in Bldg. D to see if they know the deal.

Hi Steve,

Sorry, I thought I was clear in my posting that this update is being performed at the Garmin booth.

Come to see us in Hangar D. We will fix you up.

Update: I just saw the front page of VAF and realize where the confusion might come from!

Thanks,
Steve

Unable to attend sun and fun but will be at Airventure. Will the upgrades be available there as well? Thanks for your response and for offering this service. Bill

Default Dealer available to upgrade?

Can I stop into a Garmin aviation dealer and have the update installed?

Hello Bill,

We will indeed be providing Mode S transponder software updates at Airventure 2015. We hope to see you there.

Hello Roger,

Yes, any Garmin dealer around the country should be able to provide this service. Please give the dealer a call and check to make sure.

Thanks,
Steve

I had my uninstalled GTX23 checked - it already had the latest firmware. There are two Garmin guys armed with laptops ready to update your Garmin devices at the Garmin booth. I think it's Hanger D, on the right side as you walk in from the airside.

Default G3X & GTX330ES

G3X Expert,

I have recently updated the software on my G3X to the latest version. My G3X has been providing GPS data to my GTX330ES and proving ADSB out. Since I have updated the G3X software my G3X indicates NO ADSB as does the GTX330ES. I don't have the latest software on the GTX330ES which I plan to update soon as well as my GNS480 which I will eventually wire to the 330ES when I have some time. I would not to loose the ADSB out funcion while wait to wire the GNS480 to the GTX330ES.
Any ideas?

Thanks....Mark

Hello Mark,

Please make sure the "Position Integrity" field on your transponder configuration page (configuration mode setting) is set to "VFR GPS" when you want to use the G3X VFR GPS built into the displays for ADS-B Out.

We made a recent change to stop sending the non-certified GPS data to the transponder when the system is configured for a certified position source like provided by a GNS 4XXW/5XXW or GTN 6XX/7XX (with a position integrity of 1E-7).

If the ADS-B Out+ serial link from the GTN/GNS to the transponder is inoperative for any reason, we want the pilot to see the NO ADSB annunciation.

You can still use the G3X internal WAAS GPS as the ADS-B position source anytime you wish, you just have to set the Position Integrity to "VFR GPS" to enable it.

Thanks,
Steve

Does this explains why I'm seeing "NO ADSB" on my recent flight after upgrading to 10.10 on my G3x? I didn't see any notes about this in the change notes?

Hello Greg,

Yes, the Position Integrity should already be set to VFR GPS for systems using the G3X internal GPS as the ADS-B Out position source, but if not setup this way, the NO ADSB annunciation is present at all times and is a reminder to set this to the correct choice.

Please send us an email if you have any questions on this.

Thanks,
Steve
