I asked this question on the Dynon forum but did not get an answer. So, I?m asking here. I have a 430W, Skyview and a Val Nav2000 in my RV6. I do a lot of IFR practice flying and they work great. One thing that I though I was able to do in the past was to set the bearing 1 on the skyview to the 430 and bearing 2 to the Val, NAV 2000. This to compare the VOR bearings to each other and do the VOR error check. I would tune the 430 & the NAV 2000 to a local VOR and see the two needles on top of each other and know I was good. I would just tune the 430 NAV section to the frequency and make it active. Do the same on the Val. The two bearings would show up.
All of a sudden it?s not working. The garmin gives me no indication. I?m going crazy trying to figure out why and it seems I must not only tune the 430 to the frequency but must tell the 430 to go there. The Val I just tune and I get a bearing. It just won?t work on the 430 until I tell I to go direct to the VOR. I?m setting the OBS to vor, off gps. I?m tuning the correct frequency?s, weird. It?s not a problem, I can check my VORs it?s just bugging me, what am I doing wrong? Any of you 430 guys know what I?m doing wrong?
