Garmin Mode S Transponder Software Upgrades at Oshkosh 2015

[g3xpert]

Hello,

We are once again offering free software upgrades for Garmin Mode S transponders used in Experimental aircraft at Oshkosh.

Just bring your GTX23ES, GTX330, or GTX330ES transponder in to us at the Garmin tent and we will install V8.02 software into your transponder while you wait. It only takes about 2 minutes to accomplish this update.

Sorry, but we are not equipped to perform sign-offs for certified aircraft, so please only bring us transponders that are installed in experimental aircraft.

Even if you don't have a transponder to upgrade, be sure to drop by to say hello and/or attend a seminar.

After being located at the entrance to Hangar D for many years, we have moved to a new location across Celebration Way from the EAA Welcome Center and the Ford tent. If you look at the Airventure ground map, this is grid K13. From homebuilt camping, just follow Knapp street South to Celebration Way (the main entry street) and turn left.

Hope to see you at Oshkosh!

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
I am also interested in what the upgrade means or does. I will not be able to attend so can this upgrade be performed at an authorized Garmin service center? Thanks.

Larco,

The primary purpose of the V8.02 update is discussed here:

David - yes, dealers will be able to install this update for you fairly soon, but I don't think the service bulletin has been released yet. If I find out otherwise, I will update this posting.

Thanks,
Steve
