Has anyone had experience of hooking up a 296 to GNS430?
Evidently using the "Aviation In" feature on the 296 and the auto crosslink
feature on the GNS430 the Flight plan and user wpt's will be transferred
automatically.
The hook up appears to be via the GNS430 RS232 output port 1 feeding the
Com1 296 data in (yellow wire). The Garmin Installation Manual figure 4-11
only shows a hook for the 195 and Pilot III.
So I would like to see if anyone has got this setup working. The terrain
data from the 296 is better than the 430 and it is WAAS enabled.
Thanks
Robert

Folks,
I called Comm Spec and they cheerfully emailed me pdf files of the
radio's schematics and block diagrams. This was plenty for me to get
the radio working again.
I get the impression this list doesn't care much for radios and is much
more interested in the "fancier electronics" found in MFD's, navigation
systems, etc. I guess that's OK, but unfortunate when you consider the
FAA will be mandating conversion to digital comm radios in the not so
distant future. That should get folks excited.
