DYNON 760 Transceiver fail
Hey guys,
I have a new Zenith Super Duty with the Dynon SkyView.
I have the 760 transceiver,
10 total hours on the plane and SkyView system.
The original 760 transceiver failed at 6 hours,
Dynon sent a replacement,
That replacement failed after 3 hours.
New plane, new Rami antenna, new coax built by Aircraft spruce.
SWR check is perfect.
Installing the first (original) and second transceiver they both worked perfect until they didn't,
The most recent ground checks normal, we're flying it tomorrow for the first time with this third transceiver.
Have any of you had a 760 failure ??
Is there a 760 issue out there ??
How can I have two failures in 10 hours ??
Thx
Gregg

I don't know the answer, but on my second airplane build the only thing that did not work as expected was the Dynon radio. I'm sensing a pattern ...

Hmmmm
I too am thinking there’s an issue.
DYNON says no.

I've been active on the Dynon forum for quite a few years. Problems of this sort are usually reported there, as you did today for this issue. But I don't recall seeing anyone ever reporting a problem like this before, so I'd have to agree with Dynon that this isn't anything recurrent or systemic. But maybe you're starting a new trend.
