REFLECTOR: GRT compass calibration

[Al Gietzen]

Terry;
Sounds like your setup is very much like mine.  I'm not having any problems.

I think it very unlikely that is anything along the cables.  I'm sure you
took it to the compass rose and did the calibration according to the manual.
I think you can set it up to read out 'true' or 'magnetic', what's the
deviation where you are?

I'm sure the guys at GRT can give you the most help.

Best,

Al

Hi all,

I have a dual screen, single AHRS GRT EFIS (Their Horizon I)  and I am
getting a 20 degree compass split.  The GRT is reading off to the right.  

I am in contact w/ GRT and doing and trying all as they advise, but I
thought I would check in here to prevent re-inventing the wheel.  I do enuf
of that as is.

The Magnotometer is mounted in the RH strake and I have the usual #2 nav and
com antennae near by not on top off the GRT magno box.  I have about 3 feet
of excess cabling.  Moving that around in the wing and aft cabin has no
affect on the problems.  

The plan of attack tomorrow is remove the canard cover and see if I can
isolate the magno cable from any possible unnoticed offenders in the nose
area.  

Anybody been down this road?

Thanks,
Terry
