Can I please ask you to update the N16 firmware to that released on our website please ? I have tested this extensively here after your report but am unable to get it to go wrong. It uses internal Flash memory to store the information - in fact the processors own flash memory that also holds its pro...

Please make sure you have configured the AUX input OFF using the V16 setup menu if you are not using it - this is a very high impedance input (on purpose) and if left uncorrected can pick up signals from all sorts of sources. You can also connected it to audio input ground on the radio which elimina...

When I first designed this system many years ago I simply made a piece of wood with a hole in there - shaped so it provided about a 25 or 30 degree slope with the hole in the middle - this I simply taped underneath the pitot tube. I stuck a PVC pipe firmly into the hole that went back to the positiv...

OK, that sounds like you are in fact using the thermocouples as CHT senders - these will show ambient if nothing is connected. The normal 912 CHT senders (the two that are built into the engine) do not show ambient. Those are NTC (resistive) type senders - actually they are just ordinary oil temp se...

Yes we have been looking at this very closely indeed.

Just a heads-up. We have completed development of a first item in a new product category: Test and calibration equipment. It is called the "Airdata-1" and is a compliant pitot/static test reference instrument. It provides all functionality to be able to perform a pitot static test as per requirement...

To clarify, all our transponder models have a squat switch input - this is a simple grounded input (connect to ground to signal ground state - it is also possible to invert the state via setup and you may also use a voltage source (0V / 3V or higher). You don't have to use it - you can wire the squa...

Rainier, Two more T16/T16D questions: 1. Am I correct to assume that the T16D will have connections for two antenna cables? Yes. That is needed as you need to connect two antennas only one of which may transmit at any point in time. 2. Will both transponders have inputs for signaling air/ground sta...

Rainier, will the T16 be able to use a Garmin G430W ADSB+ GPS position RS232 source? Thanks Cecil Garmin does not publish this protocol. I have sent a request for it to them but as expected, I am getting ignored. So for now the answer is NO. But you can use the SP-12 of course which is equivalent a...
