John, The advice about rf floating around your cockpit is all good. With a good radio/co-ax/antenna the B40 with DAD should not be having any transmit troubles. We had one B40 in an ASW19 in Japan that had a similar problem which was traced to improper termination of the BNC connector on the...

Is there any correlation between all these subjects? Or can we blissfully soar away the next few decades? And I'm talking about all of us, not just the wealthy who don't seem to mind paying more for fuel. Brad

Is external "event marker" switch on 302 a "momentary on" type? Can the mode/screen pushbutton on 302 be used as an event marker? Thanks. Andy
