John,

Did you see my note regarding that my external HSI works with my CNX80 =
even
without published VNAV minima, so long as there is advisory vertical
guidance being generated?

I believe you wrote that was not the case with your setup and FD.
Obviously, there is something other than the absence of VNAV minima to
cause this behavior in your system.

Ron, I did see your note, after I returned from a Florida trip,
and I'm attempting to find out why my installation behaves differently.
I received a phone call today direct from Salem, and learned that
there has been no change of software since my upgrade,
so that possibility is ruled out.

The representative attempted to put me in touch with another person =
there
to discuss my specific equipment, but he was unable to do more than
leave a voicemail message with the other party.
He said they would be back in touch with me later.
Just incidentally, he said in passing that they themselves were =
surprised
to learn so many thousands of GPS approaches had vertical guidance =
available.

My representative is convinced we'll be able to learn why my system
behaves as it does, and actually correct it if a correction is needed.
Thanks for starting that ball rolling for me, Ron.
