Just a few things to check. 1) Please upgrade to the latest firmware (Version 2.16) 2) You are still transmitting the GPGSV message as the skyview and signal quality is still shown. 3) You can change the baud rate of the GPS receiver under the GPS setup. 4) I do...

Hi Mike, Regarding the fuel flow. Select the fuel mode: differential or summation. You should be seeing some current (as long as it is a few amps). You could do into the Sensor info menu on the Xtreme and see if there is any change in the Current ADC value. Then you will know if the current sensor i...

Hi Moshe,

Hi Moshe,
