Default G1000 no 3 letter identifier on ILS. Why?

The other day I flew an ILS into KCNO. The G1000 did not decode the Morse
code and the 3 letter identifier did not appear. I was not in IMC and I did
not manually listen to the Morse code. The ATIS did not indicate a problem.
The localizer and glide slope appeared good. My question. What are some of
the reasons to explain why I did not receive a 3 letter code? In actual IMC,
if I did not receive a 3 letter code, I would have manually checked the
Morse code. I know some probably always manually check the Morse code. Any
comments are appreciated.


I never check the code manually in the G1000. Not sure why the ID did
not appear though. Perhaps the transmission of the code was weak?? May
want to try that same ILS again. Maybe it was a bug in the G1000.
We've found several small issues, most of which Garmin has issued
fixes for. If you can reproduce it, Garmin will take a look at it,
they're pretty responsive.
