 Posted: Sun May 16, 2010 2:02 pm Post subject: SL30 Comm Failure message |
 |
|
After 4 1/2 years without trouble, my Apollo SL30 has begun to show this message briefly on startup. Then it resolves itself and does not reoccur in flight. Garmin bought out Apollo, long ago and has made some upgrades I think. Hope I can avoid sending this unit back to Garmin.
Any ideas?

Does it have an internal battery?
The 480 does and it gives out some messages when it starts to go bad. Call
the Garmin AT tech support people and ask them. They are great folks -
like Apollo/UPS.

Nope, no internal battery. Will try to contact tech support tomorrow.
Thanks,

Just for the record, at the suggestion of the Apollo guys in Salem, I
re-racked it and, it could be my imagination but the display seemed to get
brighter. Of course I couldn't duplicate the comm failure message before or
after the re-rack so there is no way to be sure but I just got back from a
long cross country without any problems. So it's fixed for now. At the next
opportunity, I'll check the dsub connectors on the back end for a snug fit.
I bought the SL30 new in 2001. I was surprised to find the original Apollo
crew still at work in Salem, OR. After Garmin took over they actually
doubled their workforce.
