Re: "OBS" is grayed out on right knob

Yes you are correct. I mis-typed. My SL30 is NAV2 and shows up on my screen as NAV2, and is chosen as SL30-2 wherever I'm pointing at it. As such, I believe everything is correct in this regard.

However, let me ask this question to finish this off.....

As in the pic I attached earlier, I have:
NAV ...

Re: "OBS" is grayed out on right knob

Thanks Jeff. Seems the Gama Arinc setting on the 480 was the cause of all the issues. I flew it and both 480 and SL30 are now showing up on the Hxr. In order to get the Nav1 label to show for the SL30, I did have to keep the label set to EXT1. This was one of my original questions - having an SL30 ...

Re: "OBS" is grayed out on right knob

This is the only install my experimental has had. I wired the panel all on the bench before I put it in the plane, back in 2019. So no old wiring.
I have 2x 12" Hxrs and a Mini-X, 480, SL30, 327 xdpr, GMA240 audio, EIS, and Navworx for ADSB in/out.

But to answer your qu, no the Hxr isnt changing ...

Re: "OBS" is grayed out on right knob

Thanks Jeff. But apparently Ive got something wrong.

OBS knob is available & active for twisting (ie not grayed out) before the 480 GPS get its satellite lock. But I watched it go gray as GPS lock was attained and synthetic appeared on the HXr. After that, it stayed gray no matter what nav mode I ...

"OBS" is grayed out on right knob

I'm having trouble figuring out why sometimes when I push CDI/OBS button in order to be able to rotate the OBS, on the right knob instead I get "Push Home" highlighted and below it OBS is grayed out. Rotating the knob obviously does nothing. I'm expecting OBS to be available all the time, but it ...

Re: AP Emergency functions

Ok thanks Jeff.

Of course you know the next qu...can you add it to the list of things to do, maybe on the right side buttons as a double button simultaneous push?

AP Emergency functions

Is there a way to bring up the Emergency functions when the AP has been on for a while, not just when its initially engaged? I didnt get any hits on search for this, or any clues in the various manuals....Hx, HXr, AP....

Reasoning: I found myself blundering into a cloud layer the other day while on ...

Re: DA and Missed Altitude buttons - Synthetic Aproaches

Thanks Jeff. That makes sense. Probably, after only seeing it the first time, I may have run through it properly, but then coming back to it later in the flight, when the buttons disappeared, it threw me for a loop and I tunneled on that, not noticing center dialog box....

I'll check it again ...

DA and Missed Altitude buttons - Synthetic Aproaches

Yesterday, I was working on flying SAPs to my grass field - no Terpsed approaches for it, so I've loaded the runway info with user-data base file. No problems - the AP captures the extended runway line and flies me down the 3deg slope, and the Flight Director chevrons allow me to do it manually ...

Re: HXr V7 software

I'm just cracking into the learning the IFR stuff on my HXrs now that Ive got close to 100hrs on my bird.

I havent loaded the Proc version of the s/w yet, so just asking if the SNAP button made its way back into 8.01 build. I perused the change notes but didnt see it. Lots of changes in v8 alone ...
