Today on startup for the return leg of a two leg vfr, I got an error message on my ifd 540 at boot up. While enroute home and again after landing, I did a shutdown/restart of the radio, with the same message appearing each time. (Took a photo, but no way to post here.) The radio has no issues on the first 35 minute leg.
The message which appeared on a banner at startup and in the alerts subsection of the AUX section says:
“No comm with VHF: No communication with VHF radio.”
And the two comm and two nav frequency blocks (all 4, in total) were red-X’d out. The GPS and all other screen functions appeared and performed normally.
Reviewing the manual at home provides no specific guidance, simply to call customer service if there is a vhf comm or nav error. I’ll do that tomorrow. But I wondered if anyone else ran into this error message.
