 |
|
I was out flying on Saturday and all of a sudden my Garmin 340A audio panel lit up like a Christmas tree. All of the lights came on at once. I pressed Com1 and Com3 buttons a few times and then everything went black.
Then I remembered that old adage about gas in the truck, sky above you and your spare radio back in the car 
Since it was snowing I turned back to the field and on the way back turned switches on/off, pushed buttons to no avail and so on.
Back at the shop I checked the fuses (all good), re-seated the connections, turned the ship's power on/off, cursed at it and so on. All efforts were in vain. I then turned the ships power back on, turned the power switch on and pressed the "Test" button.
With that all the marker lights went on. Releasing the test button extinguished the lights and all was again dark.
Any thoughts? Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Up until Saturday the unit worked without issue.

Had a similar issue, but only involved the transmit 1 & 2 functions,
the transmitions were unreadable! It's still unresolved..............

Unless Garmin has changed their customer support attitude, I suggest giving
them a call and get a senior panel avionics tech guy on the phone. They
will work with you. And, it could turn out that they fix it for n/c.....
