Just figured out how to stop Traffic display by putting it in the standby
mode...
I've just never done it.

I'm thinking of getting a GNS 430 and the GTX 330 put in my plane. I
have a couple of questions that I would really like some answers to:

1. My aero radio people tell me that they think the GTX 330 display
is always up on the map. I.e., I can't declutter or eliminate it if I
want to, say while flying an instrument approach and not really
needing/wanting the mode-s traffic info on the screen. True?


You can configure the Traffic to display on the main Nav Map page (2nd
nav
page) or not. I have disabled this and only display traffic on the 3rd
Nav
Page (traffic page) because it clutters up the map page. You can also
display traffic on a thumbnail (takes 2 data fields). The GTX330 will
talk
to you if an aircraft is going to be with + or - 500ft and 0.5nm within 34
seconds. This is called a Traffic Advisory and will say "TRAFFIC" over the
audio system. When you leave a Mode S area the voice announces "Traffic
not
available" also. As far as I know you can't turn anything off (map or
voice), only configure how it's displayed.
