We checked our software by putting a G430 in the slot and verified that the GLD 69 was running 4.02.
I tried various combination using my 440 and 540 seperately and was finally able to get the 540 to display Not Rcvd displayed instead of the dashes. At that point, there was no change for probably 20 minutes, so I did a Sirius renew and in a few minutes the dashes began to be replaced with update refresh times.
Before I did all that, Avidyne Tech support had me changing the attenuation settings which seemed sort of unusual to me as the settings are set on the GLD 69 at install and it didn't make sense to change them with the new radios. One thing we had to do was pull and reset the GDL 69 CB after each change in the attenuation setting otherwise we got an attenuation warning message.
I'm pretty sure that the Sirius update is probably the thing that got us going. I did try updating the Sirius early in the process but did not have any success.
