All he has to due is swap coax cables between the units to find out...

I wouldn't be satisfied with the answer that one unit is more sensitive or
has better demod until I knew that the splitter, connectors, and coax were
all in good shape. Then I'd wonder if the Garmin was detuned somehow instead
of jumping right on poor or lesser design.

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 experience?
How far away do you have a reception of a VOR with your GNS 430?

Fly safe!
Maik


You may want to try swapping the coax leads at the splitter. That
would quickly tell you if you had any splitter / connection / coax
issues.
