Can't help you with the coverage issue (complain to the FAA), but the
voice type and volume are, in fact, configurable. This is not an "in

configuration pages which are accessible via special key combination
during power-up.

Doug, thank you very much for the excellent information. Let me be just a
little bit more honest and admit that over the phone last July I discussed
the configuration options with Lancaster Avionics, the group who installed
my GTX330.

I should have expanded on my statement that it would be nice to be able to
control the volume for each message separately. IMO, the "Traffic" alert
volume level is acceptable at which it is currently set, but that annoying
"Traffic Not Available" message, which is set to the same volume level, is
just too loud! IMO, the two alerts are completely different priorities
and therefore should be different volumes.

But, your information may convince me to bring down the global volume level
of these messages a notch or two.

If you want to occasionally mute the audio, you need
to have your avionics shop route it through a switched input on your
audio panel.

Now that is an excellent idea and something that I and LA never thought to
do. If I ever face a large avionics modification again (maybe someday
GNS430 WAAS-enabled???) this will be something I add to the order.


I wrote an article about the GTX330 that you may find helpful. Go to my
site and click through:

Absolutely excellent website you have there! Not only will I read this
article, I will be sure to set aside more time to explore the rest of your
site.

Please read the disclaimer thoroughly before downloading the file. I'm
not kidding. If you screw the pooch, call your avionics tech. Don't
email me about it or expect me to pay to fix your mistake.

Doug, please take solace in the fact that I am someone who still takes
complete responsibility for my own actions. Of course, I cannot vouch for
anyone else who reads your post here so I certainly understand your
disclaimer.

Also, please do not post a direct link to the file in UseNet. I provide
the link description above for a reason. Thanks.

Wilco.
