Hello,
From Germany the address http://www.avionelectronics.in/support.html still works fine.
Remember my remark: The internal telescopic antenna is next to useless as it “receives” the digital signals of the set “loud and clear”.
I sent the manufacturer a mail regarding this problem and how they could solve it. I not even got a reply.
The update corrects at least one problem: The display update problems I reported have disappeared. But what else?
BTW: You should not do the update while you urgently need the radio. After the upload you mit “activate the license”. The response needed two days and two mails. ‘[email protected]’ seems to work.
Has anyone decompiled the code and reverse engineered the radio hardware?
I looked at the preamp of the telescopic antenna. As far as I understand the schematics it is clear why the internal antennas work so badly.
