When replacing an ART-2000 or ART-2100 radar receiver transmitter with a loaner or replacement unit, make sure to check that the antenna switch settings are set to the proper flat plate. The dip switches are located to the right of the unit main connector under a small cover. Normally the proper settings for the flat plate are noted on the back side of the flat plate. This will help insure that the unit will work properly once installed in the aircraft.
Also remember, the winter season is a great time to get your radar unit tested and ready to go prior to spring, when thunderstorms are more prevalent and radar is used most. Take advantage of Duncan Aviation’s Winter Radar Promotion.
