NGT9000 Lynx L3 transponder

For years I’ve had issues with my touch screen…and I wanted to send it back to get a new screen…instead they talked me into recalibrating my screen.

this is a pain in the ass process, but overall not that difficult to do…before doing it, I couldn’t get my screen to do anything…at other times, only the bottom of the screen functioned…but today before the process nothing.

you need to have a USb to MiniB cable…you have to have the communication cable hooked to unit and to your laptop…then and only then you have to load the driver…then load the “tool” program and pick NGT9000 from the menu select maintenance, the at bottom of laptop screen select enter…then you are in…press the Lynx screen for screen alignment …then I puts on dot on screen, you touch and release…then it goes through verification mode, and you reset unit.

there are other utilities but I didn’t fool with them.

after power cycling several times, it never failed ….

for 7 years I was getting intermittently TAS fail message and the installer ghosted me and then sold the business and finally went business bankrupt.  Turns out the installer used wrong COAX connector (was told a seasoned Avionics tech told me that the W5  coax  DB style connectors had a lot of issues) still had problems. When it came to transponder calibration every 2 years and either not having the procedure and some repair stations unfamiliar with procedure to put in maintenance mode to do 2 year transponder check. coupled with WIFI PED having issues of dropping the IPAD connections. Once great support faded like all business when they switch from engineering mindset to a purely make the most money business model. I elected to replace it with a Garmin GNX375.

One more note I want to make….

not unlike your cell phone, if the touch screen has any moisture on it, it won’t work right.  This screen is very sensitive to humidity…and clean dry cloth can help

my GTN650 needs no help…it always works perfect
