Has anyone had configuration issues with the Garmin GTX330ES. I removed a 530W and replaced it with a IFD540, I configured the new IFD according to how the 530 was configured, however I have no ADSB. Transponder is putting out the right mode C, just no ADSB information. The only message I get is from the transponder ( No ADSB ). I have the RS-232 and 429 ports configured as they were with 530W. I was told that not all Garmin configurations work and was hoping somebody had this issue and could help.

Thank you

Scott

The RS232 setting on the IFD that sends GPS information to the 330ES should be:

ADS-B+ (G)

On the 330ES, the RS232 setting should be: Remote

Gene, thank you sir, I was just ready a post on a bonanza web site that basically said the same thing, only they said the 429 in should be off as 429 has priority, over RS232. Your thoughts?

Gene, The 429 In must be set to off (330ES) and like you said the RS232 set to remote. I just flew my plane and ADSB worked as advertised.
