Hi,
I have the above setup. The KLN94 also drives a KMD550; the connection between the two uses the "enhanced" RS232 data stream so the KMD550 displays the KLN94 flight plan.
The GTX330 transponder is the recent addition. The 330 works but the auto ground/air mode switching (based on GPS ground speed) doesn't work.
The avionics shop that did it a couple of weeks ago has offered to fix it at no charge but they are a long way away and I am trying to fix it myself if I can. I have the maintenance manuals for the KLN94 and the GTX330.
The avionics shop has connected the GTX330 to the same KLN94 RS232 output that's used to feed the KMD550, so the "enhanced" data is going to the GTX330's RS232 #1 input which is set to "GPS" input mode. But the 330 isn't showing any input.
One possibility is that the additional info in the data stream is causing the 330 to reject it.
One solution offered would be to set the KLN94 output from "enhanced" to "standard" but then I lose my KMD550 functionality, which is no good at all. The avionics place suggested using a different KLN94 RS232 output and setting that output (only) to "standard" but the 94 has only ONE output anyway.
Can anyone shed any light on how this might be made to work? Any info much appreciated.
A solution might involve a converter which strips out the extra data, but that is way too much work.
Peter.
