(cdwambolt) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:42:22 PM PST US From: "Carlos Trigo" Subject: Avionics-List: Transponder for sale Hey listers I just listed a transponder for sale on ebay. You can see it (and place bids) here http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296-2357-0?uid=626608286&site=0&ver=LCA08080 5&item=230238620596&lk=URL It is a NARCO AT-155 transponder I had purchased for my RV-9A , but decided not to install because mode S became obligatory in Europe. Cheers Carlos Trigo ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:51:24 PM PST US Subject: Avionics-List: King kln rs232 format From: "squiggles" I have a kln 89b and have hooked the output serial( pin 2 ) up to a computer to read what sentences it is putting out and ground pin 4 on the serial cable is attached to pin 14 in the gps. However, I have it set to 9600 n 8 1 and any variations on 9600. However, while I am able to to read some characters, most are unintelligible. Granted the unit and antenna are in the garage and unable to get a satellite lock, however I would not have expected junk characters to be output. Any thoughts on how to set the serial port on the reading computer? Thank You. -Scott Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=174454#174454 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:31:50 PM PST US From: "Michael Majors" Subject: Re: Avionics-List: King kln rs232 format Scott, You've got the right pins and the right serial settings at 9600/N/8/1. The KLN-89B doesn't output NMEA sentences or even the modern King/Aviation serial format that would be readable in hyperterminal. Each sentence starts with a STX (ASCII 0x02) and ends with a ETX (ASCII 0x03) so you're going to see some ASCII 'unprintables' along with readable text. There's not any carriage returns or line feeds either so it's probably running off the hyperterminal screen in funny ways too. In summary, you're not going to be able to easily monitor the serial data out of the -89 on a PC dumb terminal, you'll have to write some software to parse the sentences. If you're going to try that, find a King avionics dealer and copy the 5 pages out of the KLN89/89B install manual that define the serial data sentences.

I have what I thought was a complete installation manual( part# 006-00748-0000 ), but it would seem I only have the pinouts and associated installation info. Thanx for the info... -Scott Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=174482#174482 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:19:40 PM PST US Subject: Avionics-List: Blue Mountain EFIS One for sale Price Slashed!!!!
