4/4/2009
Hello Robin, Please tell me more about this demo mode. How does one get into
it and use it? I can't find out anything about it in my 430W manual.
If you have the Garmin trainer on your computer how does the demo mode
compare to the trainer?
Thanks.

| Subject: | Terra TN200 problem |
To any Terra wizards out there, here's my setup:
Vans RV4, circa 1992.
One Terra TN200 (not "D") with GS, TRINAV head with Loran/GPS option
and GX50 connected, single dipole antenna mounted below tail, and
splitter for GS and VOR/LOC, with RG58 coax.
Problem: GS indications intermittently erroneous. I routinely fly the
ILS Rwy 30L approach into KSJC and have the opportunity to do so VFR
and check GS indications against published GS altitudes at the fixes
and the PAPI. Sometimes I won't get any GS indication until inside 5
miles.
Sometimes I get GS out at 15 miles, but it shows that I'm low
(about 1/3 up the scale) no matter where I am ref the actual slope. I
get no flag, the "I" is displayed, as opposed to an "L", and it stays
at that 1/3 low position until inside 5 miles final or sometimes closer.
And once in a great while I receive correct indications at 15 miles
and continuing all the way in.
Localizer indications are always correct and responsive, within
tolerance.
Station ID is clear and correct.
I checked at another airport, same results.
Questions: Shouldn't I get a flag? Shouldn't the "I" change to an
"L"? Is there an RF gain adjustment that needs attention? Where
should I look first?
Should I upgrade to RG400, as I have with GPS and Comm?
Do splitters go bad?

On a similar subject: How do you get the 430 family into setup mode? I know
it's a matter of holding something down as you power it up, but I haven't
been able to find out just what.

Hold the enter button as you turn the system on. Good luck and write
down all your old settings before you change to the new.

....what Vincent is stating is especially true if the 430/530 is coupled to
an autopilot of similar boxes. There are a ton of settings internal to the
Garmin's that maybe reset accidentally. Get a notebook and scan through the
many pages of set-up and note down all the settings..... Been there got the
T-shirt with all the catsup on it for not doing this when the unit was
upgraded. Even the licensed shop could not get the right settings back
properly. I had to go to Garmin, talk to a very savvy engineer, to get the
settings back into the 430 so it would talk to my S-Tec A/P correctly....

I don't intend to change any of the settings on mine at the moment. Still,
writing them all down seems like a very good idea. I've had a couple of ham
radios that I've done that with because they've been known for losing their
internal settings should the power spike at engine start or the like.
I suspect that, while Garmin may not know how to set up the 430W to talk to
my Zodiac's TruTrak Digiflight IIVSG, TruTrak probably does. Still, I'd like
to avoid the necessity. There's also an Aspen PFD in my future, though not
for a while yet.
At some point, though, I plan to add a connection from the 430 to my 496 for
flight plan crossfiling, and that will need to be enabled via setup.
