| Subject: | Encoder / Transponder question |
I'm in the process of connecting up some avionics HW and need some assistance.
I have the Ameri-King AK-350 encoder and the Garmin GTX-320A transponder. My question
is where do I hook up pin #18 on the Garmin ? Its listed as Altitude D4.
The AK-350 doesn't have an altitude D4 pin and I can't find a reference as to what
D4 actually is. Is my AK-350 outdated?
The AK-350 has a DB-15 pin connector and the Garmin has a DB-25 pin connector
Anyone have a schematic laying around that includes the Garmin. My AK-350 is new
in the box but about 7 years old.
A google search did not provide any worth while results

I have not searched for the 320A manual I have for the Glastar but I believe
you do not need to hook up that wire. I believe that the encoding is binary
and the D4 provides an altitude that you encoder does not support; Your
encoder may be limited to 20000 but the Garmin may be able to report 30000
to ATC. Additionally Garmin can supply a pdf of their old tech manual.

IIRC the first nine pins provide 8 bit binary to indicate altitude and one
bit for sign. This will provide altitudes from -1000 to +25600. The D4 would
be the tenth binary digit and provide encoding from -1000 to the +63000 that
the 320A is capable. Short story you do not need to hook it anywhere..

I was quoted a second price for the Garmin Dealer Installed / Warrantee
requirement. I did not want to loose the warrantee ability to replace
high value assets. Hence the attractiveness of Tim's remarkable panel
project.
Thanks

John,
My number includes the visit from a Garmin certified /

install. The down side is a required 30 day notice.

Serial 40065 N110DV was successfully flown for the first time this afternoon.
No problems were noted and the airplane flew well.
Pictures and more information after the test period is complete and we've been

No secret, I just didn't know if anyone cared to hear. But glad to share.
Here goes; Go to lowes or H.D and B-line it for the plumbing department,
then look for the rubber fittings to attach PVC, in line, 1 1/2". Get a
coupling for 1 1/2" pipe, it will be about 4" long and have two hose clamps
on each end. You will need to cut the two ends off with a band saw, or your
weapon of choice. Cut just inside of the groove where the clamp sets. You
will now have two couplings for each vent.
Then you can use a dremal to cut the big flange off the NACA inlets, about
1/4 inch from the seam, or so you have 1 1/2" diameter left. Then with the
nut ring still on the eyeball vent insert it into the rubber coupling and
place the whole unit over the NACA vent, and tighten the hose clamp.
Sound complicated but take around 30 minutes.
Let me know if you have questions. I also have a pic of the end product,
looks real clean, is easy to remove, and eliminates the ugly white flange,
and requires no hardware or glue.

Speaking of Oshkosh,
I hope they allow more room for taxi this year, Last year the wingtip spacing was
a bit tight.

I have asked for this in the past, and may have reported on it at some
point, but wanted to share an experience with the group. Earlier
today my dad and I flew from 7FL6 to X35 and did the GPS 23 approach
into Dunnellon. This approach is a non-WAAS approach, but when
activated on the 430W it reads "LNAV+V". When close to the final
approach fix "JOLCO", we just hit "mode" to activate GPSS and then
"alt" twice to activate GPSV and the TruTrak Digiflight II VSGV did
the rest until the flare. Even while dropping the flaps it kept the
needles almost centered and quickly got them back to the center.
Other than that, it nailed the center of both needles all the way down
to the VASI's, one red one white the whole way down.
Most of this to encourage those of you who have the 430W or 530W to
utilize this feature in your TruTrak vertical steering GPS. I know a
lot of other units have been able to do this for a while, but getting
it from possibly the most common GPS in GA is a great improvement.
The technology advances even in the short time I have been directly
involved in aviation are amazing.
