    Subject: KLN-89B Question
    From: <George.Kuehn@dot.gov>
    --> Avionics-List message posted by: <George.Kuehn@dot.gov> I'm installing a used KLN89b in my RV. The unit checked out ok at a local shop. However, when I went through the initial checks after installation, I could not get any reception and the following error messages; "No GPS Receiver Data" and "RCVR HW ERROR 0100" Since the plane is not flying yet, I pulled the unit out of the rack and to another local shop. Again it worked fine in their test setup. So I suspect that either the antenna cable or the used KA-92 antenna that came with the unit maybe a fault but don't know how to test the antenna. (The cable tests ok for continuity) 1) Does anyone know what the Honeywell 0100 error code means? 2) How can I test the antenna? 3) Any other ideas of what might cause this problem? Thanks, George

    INNOCENT GLOBAL 0.3422 1.0000 -0.1809 --> Avionics-List message posted by: <bakerocb@cox.net> Responding to an AeroElectric-List message previously posted by: Kevin Horton <khorton01@rogers.com> 12/27/2005 Hello Kevin, Thanks for your input. <<1) You wrote: "But, this should only occur following an electrical failure.">> Right you are. <<2) You wrote: "If we have to comply with all the FARs following a systems failure,...skip...>> My concern was not with the routine compliance with FAR's following a systems failure. My concern was Jeff being in IMC, with an alternator failure, depending upon battery reserve, being vectored by ATC to a nearby safe letdown destination with terrain clearance a factor, and Jeff's transponder not transmitting altitude information because his encoder was not on the endurance bus. Since 14 CFR Sec. 91.215 specifically requires a transponder to be putting out altitude information that reference seemed to be the most succinct wording to describe the altitude reporting requirement. Jeff's email response to me was that he was moving his altitude encoder to the endurance bus. OC <<OC wrote: "Hello Jeff, It appears that when you are operating on the endurance > bus only (altitude encoder not functioning) that you will not be in > compliance with 14 CFR Sec. 91.215.

If we have to comply with all the FARs following a systems failure, we had better install dual transponders, dual everything else, and a second engine. Kevin Horton >>

    --> Avionics-List message posted by: "David Lloyd" <skywagon@charter.net> Were you doing the test inside a hanger? I believe that code comes up when the GPS is not sending out position data which will happen if the GPS antenna is shielded...i.e. inside a building.

    --> Avionics-List message posted by: "William Gill" <wgill10@comcast.net> Hello George, Verify that you have the configuration module installed in the back of your rack. If you don't know what I'm referring to, I could send a couple of pictures to you directly.
