Re: Seattle Avionics Chart Download on Mac M2

Instructions are still there, have to log in via the GRT logo link, not directly.

It's ugly but I'll make something work. :evil:

Re: Seattle Avionics Chart Download on Mac M2

I could have sworn there was an FTP site, but maybe I'm confusing it with government charts or approach plates.

Seattle Avionics Chart Download on Mac M2

Anyone have any ideas about downloading updated chart information from Seattle Avionics on a Mac M2?

Re: HXr and Fuel Levels

Does anyone know where this documentation now resides?

It surely is no longer in the above referenced location and every other reference I can find in the "documentation" (incomplete and lacking at best) is a broken link.

Stunned at the utter shambles of the documentation for a product that has ...

Where the hell is the doc on calibrating fuel level sensors?

After hours of ploughing through poorly written and incomplete documentation, and attempting to navigate to broken links and references, I'm at my limit.

Does anyone have any clue where the documentation is for calibrating resistive float-style fuel levels sensors connected to the HXr?

It is ...

Hall Effect Ammeter

I am currently using the published SF of 164 and OFF of 313 for these sensors.

For ammeter #1, which is on the battery positive cable, I have set to ...
