@oneeyedjackass, Autopilots frequently benefit from keeping it all in the same brand but it's definitely not a requirement the way it is with radar...

Hi Mark, can you confirm it's a RD424 not an RD424D? If it's not a 'D' model it's not digital and hence won't work with newer MFDs. The digital scanne...

@peterh, There are quite a few ways to tackle circuit protection for small load circuits. What Andrew suggests above works well and I'd also sugges...

@oneeyedjackass, I think the better comparison in Garmin's product line would be the GPSMap x43 series (743, 943, and 1243). Those are more similar to...

You can go into the settings on the Axiom (settings->Network) and see what devices are connected, but that won't show you the physical layout of th...

Marcus, I didn't realize you were terminating your cable connection directly to the Netgear. That means your current Netgear router is doing double ...

I believe in 2001 it's likely your engine uses a MEFI-3 or MEFI-4 ECU. The only gateway I know of that works with MEFI controllers earlier than the ME...

Marcus, You have a couple of choices. One, and likely the cheapest, would be to replace the Netgear C7000 with a router capable of multiple conn...
