Avionics Data Cards (merged)

From memory the WAAS are white, the non-WAAS are green?

I think that there is orange as well? I forget, it’s a while since I had GNSs, but I do remember that it was an issue.

It is important to specify the label colour. I can’t exactly remember why, but they are not cross compatible.

Your correct, Green cards are for non WAAS units. WAAS units have either silver or orange. These cards are not always exchangeable, and some require a newer programmer (for the WAAS units). See Garmin Service Advisory 1455 Rev A

Thanks for the reminder Timothy – I need a green one.

I have one Silver and one green that I update my 530 W with and they both work?

My understanding is that the difference between the cards is their capacity. The nav data for WAAS enabled units take more storage space and hence the card’s capacity needs to be higher. I suppose that the capacity required also depends on the coverage you have subscribed to.

Anybody know where I can still get the old version of the 16MB date cards with the silver label for GNS430W/530W. Or has anybody to sell one or two.

Thanks

Honeywell experiencing database media shortage

Dear all, maybe a few others like my are vintage HBK users – having a KMD 550/850 or KLN94 – have got this request from Honeywell aswell. They seem to tun out of the PCMCIA, and maybe the CF cards. However, I´ve sent mine accordingly back although from Europe the (small ) return postage was never included….
What are your experiences? Do we have to retire our KMD´s/ KLN´s soon?
