Nothing heard regarding my query on any 540/240 users out there...
Just flew and returned from very long, hot, and frustrating day at my 540/240 installer (KTRM) who tried the following to trouble shoot the failure of AMX240 1) AutoMute
2) Attenuation of Active Comm-1 during Monitor of Comm Stby on
3) Inability to select Monitored Comm-Standby frequency by highlighting (per 240 manual).
Tried:
1. replaced my 540 (v10.1 & Rev4) with two other 540's (v10.1) - No fix.
2. replaced AMX240 with PMA8000 - same attenuation of active channel.
3. reversed Hi/Lo wires from 540-->240 - relieved attenuation, but no Monitor or AutoMute capability.
Installer spoke multiple times with Avidyne Tech & Engineering (TJ & Mike) who first said they were aware of many 240/540 installs "working", but on closer questioning could not confirm that any users have had success with the above 3-functions.
Again after spending the better part of the day (in very hot KTRM) on phone TJ confirmed a "Software Problem" with the IFD540/AMX240 integration!!
Very frustrating... How can we be given a heads up on how/when there will be a fix?
