When I purchased my G3X kit. I spent several hours at the Garmin OSH2019 booth making sure I understood what I needed and "THEY" understood my needs.
I could have gone w GRT, Dynon, etc...but I choose Garmin which I ordered from a Garmin distributor.
my kit consist of
GDU-465 G3X Touch
GMU22 magnetometer
GTP59 Temp Probe
GSU 25 ADAHRS
GAD29 Data Concentrator
GEA 24 EIA w all sensors.
G5 Std By In FLight Display
Two GSA 28 AP Servo (roll and Pitch)
Remote GTR20 Comm
Remote GTX45R Transponder ADS-B in/out
and GPS 175 used for Navigator and WAAS source for ADS-B
All works fine however the transponder is giving me so many troubles and calling Garmin support is been lets say...NOT GOOD!
I have had 4 test flghts. 1st and 3rd flight w Tranponder working and 2nd and 4th w Transponder going into Fail. When in the ground and iiin the System configuration page, Xpnder shows TRANSMIT FAULT We checked antenna, installed a new one just to trouble shoot and problem persisted.
Complete installation ,pins and connections have been looked twice by 3 different people and all 3 have confirmed all is installed correctly.
Yesterday Customer support for the first time suggested I look at the Software version and confirmed I have version 2.12 They suggested I needed version 3.13. When I requested the software, I was told that I had to take my Experimental GTX45R Transponder to a Garmin dealer for the update........NOT GOOD #2 (BS in my book)
Why do i have the Ethernet cable if I'm not allowed to do my own software update like I do in the GPS175, GDU465, etc....? I'm not changing anything...just updating my software! all my changes are done through the G3X anyway!
NOT HAPPY W GARMIN AT THIS POINT. I have to fly w/out reporting Position/Speed, etc.... to the closest Garmin Dealer who is under a Class B airspace...NOT GOOD #3
