Garmin 430 and 530 by Kobra[_10_]
Flyers, I have an auction on eBay for the King Schools Flying the Garmin 430/530. The auction starts at 20.00. The set retails for $249.00. It's a great tool for learning in both VFR and IFR systems. http://tinyurl.com/pzudce Kobra

Garmin 430 and Comm Strength - Solved! by Marco Leon
There have been various posts going back a ways on the comm "strength" of the GNS430 versus other radios. I've "solved" my particular problem by adjusting the mic gain on the unit itself. I've had various "complaints" about my carrier strength over the years with various ATC facilities so I was...

Garmin 430 error message: "com requires service"??? by Guy Byars
I'm having trouble with the com in my Garmin 430. The audio reception was getting scratchier and scratchier on it, then in the MSG screen, I get an error like: "com requires service". My local avionics guy says all he can do with it is ship it back to Garmin. Anyone else had this problem? Guy...

Garmin 430 Jeppesen Skybound updates by John Doe
Is it possible to purchase a one-time update to the 430 database using the Skybound adapter? I don't fly enough IFR to require a current database year round and I'd like to just update it during certain times during the year. When I check their webpage all I can find is a one time mail in option...

Garmin 430 Reception by Jon Kraus
Our "new" '79 M20J came with a 2 year old Garmin 430 GPS and Garmin 340 audio panel. The backup radio is an ancient King 170B. I must say that the reception on the Garmin sucks compared to the 170B. Am I doing something wrong or is this just something I have to live with? To me for 10 grand the...

Garmin 430 VOR reception by Maik
Hi! I have a SL30 and a GNS 430 in my plane. They use the same antenna via a splitter. When I dial in the same VOR in both units the SL30 catches up the radials always between 20 and 50 nautical miles earlier than the GNS 430! (Altitude about 3000 ft, flat area) Is this normal? What is your...

Garmin 430/530 and WAAS: Delayed again? by Andrew Gideon
I've been surprised to read nothing here about the new delay for WAAS on the 430/530s. Perhaps it's not new to everyone else? It was supposed to be available this summer. It's not. It's now projected for third quarter of 2006. However, one must order before some time this year to lock in the...

Garmin 480 versus 530 by Paul Tomblin
Our club is examining the question of putting one of these on one or two of our planes. I'm a big fan of the 480 based on what I've read, but the A&P who does all our work has disparaging things to say about them and really pushes the 430/530 based on reliability and also about how much easier the...

Garmin 496 compared to the 396 by Jon Kraus
I know some of you guy's either traded in your 396's for the new cream-of-the-crop 496 or just bought a 496 because the time was now right. My question is for those of you that have tried out both systems. Is the 496 REALLY worth .6 AMU's more than the 396? I mean it was only last year that...

Garmin 496 Review by Mike Granby
So, idiot that I am, I just took delivery of a brand new 496 on the basis that I can trade the 396 to JA Air for $1750 assuming I can round-up all the bits. The first impressions are... * The new XM antenna has the magnets removed! :) * The GPS antenna is a new format with mounting cup. * Voice...

To recap our problem, last week Tony (and his guys) at McCandless Aviation in Waterloo, IA, had no luck connecting the XM radio (music) output from my Garmin 496 to our PS Engineering PCD-7100 (a stereo CD Player/4-place intercom that we've had in the panel since '02). They found that connecting...
