    Subject: Re: Fuel gauge question
    Thanks Gary, Dan Baier posted some documentation on the Yahoo site. I'll be reviewing the wiring and probably swapping the guages left for right (that's a pretty easy test). Glad to hear it's not an isolated incident.

    The following is from Garmin's Web site. I don't know when this was posted, but a friend on mine picked up on a problem this week from another "list service" he belongs too so I thought I'd pass this note on. Marty "Garmin has identified an issue with reception of XM weather products for aviation and marine devices using a GXM30, GXM31, GXM40 and GXM 51. This issue will make it difficult for the devices to receive weather information. The issue has been corrected with a free software release from Garmin. Aviation software can be updated using Garmin's WebUpdater. The 396 will need software version 4.60 or higher; the 496 will need software version 3.70 or higher."
