My nearly new Garmin SL30 which has previously worked fine, today in the air 

started refusing to change frequency. It was as though it had decided to 

stick to just one working frequency and just one standby. Changing the 

standby saw it change back to the starting one over the next second or two. 

Changing from the active to the standby was followed by it changing itself 

back to the previous active. This is a potential disaster as I am due to fly 

off to the Black Sea (fortunately the West bank of it!) on Wednesday, and 

the avionics experts at RGV Aviation are off on holiday.

        The SL30 is linked to a Blue Mountain Efis to display VORs & glide 

slopes, and potentially to share frequencies, but the radio behaved the same 

when I switched off the Efis.

        Any thoughts would be most welcome

                   Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

If you can use an SL40 in the same rack then you can borrow my radio as

I will be too busy to fly my Europa for the next couple of weeks.

David, 

Looks like a wiring fault. Is it very difficult to remove the connecting wires?

Regards,



Jos

 I don't want to ruin your weekend and I hope you find a solution locally. My transponder failed last year and had to be shipped to the factory in Oregon. They charge a flat rate of $ 400 plus the shipping.

 They also provide a 'loaner' foc C but again you pay for the courier cost.

 I just called Garmin Apollo support to get the phone number for calling from overseas: 503-391-3411.

 As they are on Pacific time C you may still reach them this afternoon.

Nigel, That's remarkably kind of you. Unfortunately it's pretty clear that 

it is a wiring problem. However the RGV Avionics guys return from holiday 

tomorrow and I have time if necessary to rewire the whole thing! Regards, 

David

Nigel, Very many thanks for that most generous offer. Unfortunately it's 

pretty clear that the problem lies in the wiring. However, am optimistic 

will have it sorted tomorrow. Regards, David
