I fired up my panel for the first time today and there were couple of issues that came up.
My set up has an SL-40 radio besides GTN 650 and a GMA 240 audio panel.
1) I am noticing that when I sue SL-40 to transmit, the 'RX' symbol on GTN 650 is lighting up (irrespective of the frequency SL-40 is transmitting on. And GTN 650 is not tuned to SL-40's frequency).
The audio seems to be loud and clear. But I am wondering if this has to do with "Lack of Transmit interlock" as mentioned in this thread: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=97662
Can others who have GTN 650 fired up let me know if they are seeing something similar? Any suggestions on how to tackle this?
2) The GTN 650 is not seeing any satellites. This is still from indoors (but lots of windows). The unit kept trying for over an hour without success. I checked the antenna cable and it is good. Perhaps also worth mentioning that Dynon GPS locked the signal within seconds, so not sure why the GTN unit is not getting the signal.
Any advice / suggestions? Many thanks!
