Echouat update

Re: Echouat update
I got the email yesterday and as well. So apparently the Echo is having a hard time with getting info from the encoder. At least that is what I am reading.....
Anyone using the Tailbeacon X? I think I remember a video where someone mounted it in the tail?
Sounds like adding the Echo Alt encoder will be the easiest and cheapest route.

Sure Bruce. I was unaware also, til a buddy who's on the Van's forum saw it. Supposedly a cheap, easy fix, eventually, hopefully. Although I've seen no problem, after checking flightaware post flights.

Thanks Ken. I can't tell if this applies to my GRT Echo uAvionics unit - I'll contact them tomorrow and check.

Ken et all, I heard back for uAvionix almost instantaneously (they make some vendors look not so good, huh?):
You will need to install the ALT to your echoUAT. It is a very simple installation. The unit is very small and light...about the size of a matchbook. You DO NOT need to connect to your static system, just let it run open. You unplug the connector from the echo, plug it in to the ALT unit then plug the ALT back into the echo...No wiring, just daisy chain it in. You the update the echo software so it knows to look for the ALT for altitude information.

Thanks Darrel. I guess it's just a matter of them producing the units and sending them out.

Re: Echouat update
If it is not connected to the static system it seems that there could be a difference between the altitude that the UAvionix encoder outputs and that of the transponder.
