Hello,
I my GNS430 should be coming back soon as a GNS430W from Garmin. My understanding is that the reinstall should be as simple as;
1. Remove and Replace the GPS antenna with the included WAAS unit.
2. Replace current cable from antenna to 430 with an RG400 cable.
3. Slide the 430W into the current tray.
4. Enjoy the increased climb performance from a lighter wallet.
Are there any other steps to complete the install? I can?t find any instructions anywhere for upgrading from a 430 to 430W.
Also, is there any issue with flying the box for a few hours before replacing the antenna and coax? I?m planning on going to OSH and would like the second radio, and can do this work immediately post OSH.
