--> Avionics-List message posted by: "Mike" <mlas@cox.net>
I think in my case I need the 429 lines to the GTX330 because the
transponder does not have any position information. That is unless the
transponder gets it from radar but I doubt it. So in my case I think I
need those lines for position information to the GTX330.

Mike,
I spoke at length last week with a DAC guy who said that no, you don't
need the ARINC 429 back from the GDC34A to the GTX330. I actually
have mine wired that way now. I think the GTX330 should be getting
position info from the GNS480 in my case (connected via serial). My
traffic does work between the GTX330 and GNS480, so those 2 items
should have what they need. I did get an email from Peter at D2AV
tonight and he said that he found that the Chelton should be
set to HIGH speed to talk to the DAC box. The GTX330 should
be set to HIGH talking to the DAC too. He said to go edit the
system limits and set COM5 to high. I'm not sure if that's an
available option though...I'll find out tomorrow. I did have
some cool experience today with traffic on my GNS480...can't
wait to get it running on the Chelton. I think we'll get it to
work. If not, it sounds like they're working on getting the
GNS480/GTX330 serial info figured out so we may be able to get
rid of the DAC box eventually anyway...that would be nice.
I'll let you know what I figure out tomorrow.

I suppose that could be true. I don't know this at all, but I thought
that TIS worked because they had you on radar and they sent your
position using the datalink. Not that you sent your position
using the datalink and they displayed it. I would think that
position info wouldn't be needed except for the display of the
position on the screen. This reaches past what I know though.
