I'm having a 430W installed in a Cessna (sorry for the non-RV post) and the avionics tech is having trouble getting it done. The GPS is interfering with the #2 radio and the DME. I'm having a hard time believing what this guy is telling me so I thought I'd run it past the VAF brain trust.
He claims that Garmin states that there is a known interference "on certain frequencies" (what they are he doesn't know or won't say) when a 430 is installed in a stack with older King radios. He's telling me I have two choices:
1) buy a new Garmin SL radio or
2) he'll sign off the plane works "today", but he'll give no warranty that it's good any other day
This all sounds like shady BS to me, and he's been working this install for about 4 months now trying to track these problems down.
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before? Should I be taking my plane to another avionics shop?
Thanks for the help, you have got to love VAF!
