My cartridge update for Sept didn't arrive and my database went out of
date - I called Honeywell and they are reshipping, but in the mean
time I've run into a problem. The KLN 94 came up in Nav mode like
normal for the first three days of September, but then on the fourth
day, it came up "flagged" and refused to go into Nav mode. It passed
the internal self check tests although didn't show a radial for the
current position. The KMD880 showed the flight plan but with the
message no external position. Has anyone else had this kind of a
problem when a database went over cycle..... or am I into something
more serious?

So folks here's a copy of an email I sent to Jack that explains what
the problem eventually turned out to be - the database out of date was
just a coincidence. Thanks for all your help:

"I'm at the techs as we speak, and have been with them every
troubleshooting step of the way, including utting a loaner on the
airplane.....which didn't work. Conclusion, a faulty antenna. And when
it was replaced, like magic it was back on line. I guess the antenna
is 'active' meaning it has some electronics in it that can
fail.....so, looks like the problem is solved. I'll know for sure
after I've flown a few hours, but the unit has been off and on 7 or 8
times and seems to come up normally. Mike "
