Brand new Garmin GA35 GPS antenna for sale. I ordered two separate avionics packages and got two antennas. $250 + shipping.

@Sabremech Just wondering if the sabre cowl made it to Oshkosh? Any new pictures or updates? Thanks, Oscar

Hi Kyle, Thanks for the update. I also saw your video on YouTube, very cool! With all the hurdles Garmin keeps putting on their equipment I’m really second guessing the idea of getting a GNX375+G5-hsi. Pretty absurd that you can’t have the gnx and the sl30 both drive the g5 when their original release (experimental) supports this. Not being able to load frequencies from the gnx375 to the sl30 when the aera660 can do it is just the cherry on top... As far as your audio situation, you could just have the audio from the aera660 go directly to your headset via Bluetooth, I doubt your passengers want to hear “Terrain! Terrain!” anyways. Now that you have Bluetooth on your panel nothing is connected to your headset Bluetooth right? Alternatively, since your sl30 has built-in vor Morse code identification and without a cdi (slaved to it) you’re not using it for primary navigation, then you don’t really need to listen to its nav audio so your nav1 input in your gma345 could be driven by your aera660 audio. If you want to listen to an FSS you got your kx155 (but who talks to them anyway if you got adsb). This way your aera660 alerts would override the Bluetooth music instead of having to pick one over the other and they could be easily disabled with the push of a button on your gma345. If I remember correctly, @Bob_Belville has his angle of attack audio alerts routed to the (unused) DME audio input of his gma340 so you would need to label/placard it like he has. Would definitely like to hear how it goes with the rs232 connections between your aera660 and your sl30/gnx375. Keep us posted! Oscar

It sounds like you don’t have a choice but to disconnect the SL30 from your G5 in order to allow the gnx375 to drive it. You also mentioned hooking up an aera660. What are you plans for this? The aera660 has two rs232 ports, I believe you can have the gnx375 drive one of the rs232 ports (in/output) with mapmx data to get flight plan/magenta lines directly on your aera660 without having to load them manually (like you would via Bluetooth). The input of the second rs232 port could be driven by the gnx375 with adsb data (weather/traffic) and the output of this second rs232 port could be going to your sl30 with nmea data in order to select/load frequencies from your aera660 to the standby on your sl30. That is my understanding of how the aera660 could be interfaced from reading the manual so I’m really interested in knowing how you will actually hook yours up. Oscar

@gsxrpilot I'm currently working on my IFR rating and would be interested to hear why you prefer FF over FlyQ for IFR. FlyQ has Mexican VFR charts and Geo-referenced Mexican and central american approach plates/diagrams, is there something else that FF offers to cross the border? A log book would be great to have in FlyQ...

I just got an email from Seattle Avionics with a coupon code for $100 off their IFR+VFR yearly subscription ($39.99 total). It said to share it so here you go: https://seattleavionics.com/eCommerce/Buy1.aspx?CouponCode=EFB3920180927lt I've been using flyQ for years now and can't say enough good things about it.
