Loading...What to do if my Garmin Apollo SL40 Transceiver does not transmit?
If your Garmin Transceiver unit isn't transmitting, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the TxKey (microphone key) input is properly connected and pulled low for transmitting. Also, confirm that you haven't selected a weather channel, as the unit won't transmit on those frequencies. Finally, check that the input supply voltage is greater than 9 volts DC.
Why doesn't the intercom function on my Garmin Transceiver?
If the intercom on your Garmin Transceiver isn't working, verify that the intercom select input is grounded to activate the intercom function. Also, the voice activation may not be set correctly, requiring you to speak loudly. Adjust the intercom squelch threshold using the setup function as described in the user’s manual.
How to fix a Garmin Apollo SL40 Transceiver SL40 that does not power on?
If your Garmin Transceiver SL40 does not power on, the unit might not be getting power. You should check the power connections, breakers, and the main avionics switch.
