Bob,



Is this offer still open?  When it was first posted back in June I  

had no need for it so I saved it just in case.  I have pretty much  

the same main equipment  and I am having some trouble with the  

interface between the 480 and 330. I've got a pair of Horizon 1's.   

Also the fuel/air data between the GRT and the 480 has been a  

problem.   How does the 330 get its encoder data from the GRT?  I'm  

trying to get everything working for a trip to Farmington, NM in mid  

March and a trip to avionics shop to upgrade the 480 on Fri.



I've got my hours flown off and took a trip IA to pick up my mother- 

in-law for a 2-3 week stay.  That 4 hour round trip sure beat a 12  

hour car trip.  To my surprise the gas going down was about the same  

as driving.  I been having fun so far.

Thanks,



Sheldon Olesen

 Using GRT Wx with the WS/HS versions of the GRT requires high speed

 serial inputs to each DU (as opposed to using inter-DU communication).

 When the new HX displays are on the scene they will use USB  

 directly to

 the Wx receiver (processor box not needed with the HX).  Only ports  

 1 &

 2 on the WS/HS support the 115,200 high speed serial rate.  For

 redundancy there are some cases where a single device (like the

 AHRS/ADC) feeds multiple DUs.



 I'd be happy to email my connectivity and configuration documents to

 those interested.  My panel config has the following so it's pretty

 complete starting point:

    GRT (3 screens)

    PMA-8000B

    SL-30

    GNS-480

    GTX-330

    TruTrak Digiflight II-VSGV

    GRT Weather receiver/processor

    CO Guardian 353

    AOA Pro



 It is a relatively minor wiring difference between the GNS-480 I'm  

 using

 and a 430W and doesn't impact the serial port configuration.
