How get get serial number of GNS-430?
Wanting to put our club's 430s on the upgrade list, I need to get the serial numbers. Is there a page with this in the unit itself? I looked the other day, but didn't spot it. Thanks... Andrew |

I don't recall seeing a page either. How about looking in your aircraft's maintenance logs or the club's paper receipts for the unit? -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I just checked with my installer (G-Force at CAK) and they had already sent in all the names for the units they had installed. Now if/when Garmin says the word.....

Will pulling the unit from the power supply cause it to revert back to its factory-set defaults? When my unit was pulled and repaired by Garmin (which reverted all settings back to their defaults), the avionics shop had to recalibrate my GNS480 with the HSI. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

There must be some "three-fingered-salute" or key combination at power-on that does this but I can't find it in the manual. I just got mine a few months ago. When I first got it, it was in "East is up" mode. Not North. Not track. I figured that one out. Also, when I go to the "nearest airports" page, it's always empty. Not a major inconvenience yet, but I'd like the information to be there should I really need it someday. The nearest NDBs, VOR's, FSS, Center, etc. lists are all populated, but nearest airport is empty. I'm thinking somewhere in the setup is a radius setting for nearest airports that's set way too small, but I'd like to just reset my 430 and start from scratch. Anyone know how? -R |

There must be some "three-fingered-salute" or key combination at power-on that does this but I can't find it in the manual. AFAIK, its not in the user manual. It may be in the installation manual. Hold the 'clear' button down while powering on the unit. You may have to keep holding the 'clear' button down until it finishes its self test, but I don't remember exactly. If you hold the 'enter' button down while powering it on, you to the hardware set-up page that allows you to do all sorts of things that Garmin and your avionics shop would prefer you didn't. I'm thinking you may be able to get the s/n of the unit though here as well, but I havn't had a chance to check it myself. This is probably not a time for fat-fingering the wrong button.
