COM that has not been used for about 3 yrs. The database is dated 1996.
Took it out of storage and it will not access the GPS system otherwise it
works. It was working when put in storage. Is it possible that the
outdated database will stop it from accessing the GPS navagation
functions. Can't even get the map to com uo using eather the internal or
external ant. I get a message " not enough signal for navigation . Any
ideas. ????? This is only my backup com radio & GPS but I would like
to be able to use it as it was quite expensive when I bought it new in 1966. Iam
using a Garmin 196 now as primary GPS which works great.

I remember a few years ago, there was some sort of an issue
with a change in the system....or maybe a Y2K thing, that required some fancy
doin's with my old Garmin 55 I use for a backup. I couldn't catch any satellites
or position. I called Garmin and they gave me the instructions for the process.
I believe this was only required on older units so it may apply to yours. Call
the manufacturer....they should be able to help.
