I am thinking about using either a Garmin 300XL or 155XL with my planned Dynon panel along with the HS34 ARINC interface.
My goal is to be able to file /G and shoot the occasional non-precision GPS approach.
That being said, the Dynon's EHSI and the HS34 can take care of the CDI and Nav source switching but I will need to make an annunciator for the GPS.
Anyone done this for either of these GPS's and if so, got any ideas or details on how you went about it. The installation manual gives good details on how to wire the descrete switches and lights so that is not a problem. Looking for input on the best button/pilot lights etc to use and how to label them.
Don't want to spend the $800 on a factory made one, this is too simple to spend that kind of money on an annuciator plus I don't need the CDI switching functions of the ready made ones.
But if someone knows of a cheaper annunciator without the CDI switching, please provide info!
Anyone see any downsides to this type of thinking other than not being able to shoot precision GPS approaches?
The 400/420 are just to dang expensive for what you get. Might as well go with a 430 for the money they want for those.
