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?

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.

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.

If you don't know what I'm referring to, I could send a couple of pictures to you directly.
