So, on an IFR training flight last week my instructor noted a large (~30-deg.) discrepancy between the two VOR receivers in my aircraft. The next flight we went to KMEI where there is a VOR test point on the field, and saw that the NAV receiver in the GNS430W is about 30-degrees off. The other NAV rcvr in the KX-155 is within two degrees (yeah!). Yesterday I called a nearby avionics shop and discussed with a technician I know, who told me that the GNS430W probably required calibration of the CDI it is attached to, and told me something to try. I went to the hangar, followed his instructions, which took about 5 minutes, and then went for a test flight. Both NAV receivers now agree within 1 degree of each other! Solution: press and hold "Enter" while powering up the GNS 430W. That boots it into calibration mode. About 8 or 10 pages into the calibration mode is an option to "Calibrate 150 degrees CDI". Set the CDI to 150 degrees "TO", highlight the box that says "Calibrate 150 degrees CDI" and press enter. That's it. Not sure why it was off, but it is fine now. It should all be that easy! -
Recently had the following installed: gns480, new pma8000g audio panel, (USED)md200-306 indicator and davtron thingy ( oat and voltage ) removed, kx170b, intercom, kma20, king ki-201c other bits and bobs 2nd flight out of the avionics shop, the OBS resolver stopped working. I figured, that's what I get for ebaying airplane parts and purchased a brand new shiny cdi md200-706 well come to find out, the avionics shop hadn't secured the connector. tightened, everything worked. now, I have a brand new CDI in a box which I KNOW I should send back even with the restocking penalty. pretty expensive I know what I should do but what I want to do is remove the old cdi, sell it on ebay and install the new one. talk me out of it

Well, as some of you may know, I'm trying to finalize my decision on some panel modernization. One thing that I have to come to realize so far in my instrument training: No DME, an Inop ADF and a marginally functional GS is not comforting for me to be hitting the conditions I plan to fly in. The comfort level goes even further down when I think about having my wife and daughter flying with me in those same conditions. For what it's worth, I think I have settled in on the Garmin 650 for my GPS, keeping one of my Mac1700s and the CDI it feeds. I initially planned on putting in a EI MVP50, but after looking at my expenditures a little closer, I'm entertaining a Aspen PFD 1000 Pro now and then coming back for the 1000 MFD and the MVP 50 next year. (Giving me a Evolution 2000 system and being able to remove the original gauges and when all is said and done.) The question I have for you ladies and gentleman is whether I would still need a GI106A/ MD200-306 if I have the aspen, or if it can act as the CDI for my 650. I'm new to this, so I apologize if this is a simple question. Any other advice you may have is also greatly appreciated, and definitely will be considered. Warmest Regards, Abe L. Harper, Jr.

The following items were removed, in full working order, from my '67 C model during a panel upgrade a few months ago. First up is a clean Mid-Continent MD40-65 CDI / Annunciator. Next is an Apollo / IIMorrow 2001 NMS GPS. Lastly is an Apollo / IIMorrow Map 360. All items are clean and in good working order and I even have the original owners manual for the GPS and Moving Map. The moving map has the standard map function but also can provide your typical "default nav" page with electronic CDI, ETE, ETA, ground speed, DTK etc... Frankly I wish I'd left it in my plane.. I've attached pictures of all of the above, and hopefully the attachment process works. If you're interested just make me an offer... Thanks!
