Hey there,

since the new update i can't switch a stby freq to active freq with my saitek com panel on the RXP garmin GPS 530.
It only works with the c172 own radio stack.

Any hint or solution?

Thanks!

I think the RXP GNS was COM2 by default in the original version, and was then set to be COM1 in the update by popular request. Is is possible that your hardware frequency swap button is still assigned to COM2?

Hi Tym,

it doesn't matter if I switch the hardware button to whatever COm freq is set in the GPS.
I can't switch from stby to active if Com 1 or 2 set in the GPS.
As is said, no Problem with the radio stack.

Are you using Saitek's drivers or SPAD? With SPAD everything is working as it should for me with the 530 now as com1/nav1.

If you're using Saitek drivers, I can't recommend SPAD strongly enough. Aside from the added flexibility, the overall stability is simply much higher.

If you're already using SPAD, my apologies for telling you something you probably already know. In that case, I have no idea what the problem might be.

Hi Scott,

I use the spad drivers.

You don't have problems with the saitek hardware when switching from stby to active?

I cannot imagine what the problem could be.

No problems with Nav or Com frequencies on the 530 or Nav/Coms. As noted in another posting, I haven't tried the ADF yet, but will later today.

Isn't there any further hint or am I missing anything?
