I wouldn't say that the cableing and antenna connections were positively
verified 'good', just that the 430 worked when the airplane was last shut
down and hangered and that there are no visable problems with the cables or
antenna and the connections are snug. This is however the direction he is
checking next. He flew it over to an avionics shop yesterday, unfortunately
the owner was gone. He's had it sitting outside running for over an hour as
well as flown it for over an hour and it still doesn't pick up the
satellites. I'll see if he can set the date and time and try it again.
Thanks,
Jim
