Got my RG-400 coax in, 12' this time, but afraid it didn't solve my problem. It still doesn't have the green light come on the GPS, just flashes the orange light even after 30 minutes of being on and outside.
The second problem is still having the "Altitude Input Failure" come on, and having to press function to clear. I read from another on this thread, he simply put in the other choice than the one he had, and it cleared it up. I think now I have went through all five choices, and after five minutes on each choice, it alerts me again that there is a failure.
I wrote to Cannon Avionics this morning, wanting to know if they could identify my encoder since their name was on it. They said they have never sold it, but did test it back in 2000. They identified it as a Trans Cal D120-p2-T. It worked fine with old transponder. My guess is that it is still something simple, but not sure what direction to go in at this time.
My ADS-B appears to be working fine on screen, showing various aircraft and tracking them just fine. My aircraft when on ground, will sometimes show the blue circle identifying my A/C, but it is sporadic. It comes and goes while on ground. When I get airborne, my Foreflight doesn't track me at all with any kind of a symbol. But it still tracks other planes.
I've contacted Stratus, and they sent me a form letter back through e-mail, not sure when I'll hear back from them, but I understand they are quite good on helping. I sure hope so, if they don't have any answers for me, you guys are stuck with me for awhile.
Whatever the problems turn out to be, I will certainly pass it on to the board so that hopefully others don't make the same mistakes I have made. So frustrating to have a perfectly good plane to fly, other than this installation and the problems that came with it. Would have loved to have gotten a shop to do this, but in my area, none were to be found that were willing to do it, and with many shops months out that I did contact that were a good distance from me, but also wanted roughly $300 an hour for installation (roughly $2,500), which I would have never caved for that price, anyway.
If anybody has a clue to either problem, I'd certainly like to hear it.
