Good Morning Butch,
I received an email from Andy Brown that the XM is still inoperative on VP-BMB. I called XM toady and asked if the account is active yet. They informed me the receiver currently installed is still attached to Honeywell’s demo account. The demo account consists of Aviator Pro level service. They could not tell me when this account will become inactive. Longtail should contact XM and set up an account for receiver ID# CE6NK0CA (800-985-9200).
XM said you should still be able to receive all data associated with Aviator Pro on the demo account. I would suggest the following steps for troubleshooting this issue:
1) Activate the account with XM.
2) Do a system refresh using the ID CE6NK0CA at xmradio.com/refresh just prior to the next flight. The refresh should be requested while the aircraft is outside with a clear view of the southern sky and have power available for up to 45 minutes afterward.
3) Inspect the receiver for a red led with power applied.
4) Check for power and ground at the receiver. (28VDC at pins 18 and 19; GND at pin 37)
5) Check center/shield resistance of the XM coax at the receiver with the antenna connected with a digital meter. It should be around 30 ohms.
If these steps do not yield positive results I would like to connect an EFB to the receiver data connections that the File Servers are currently using to see if we have a File Server issue. Can you provide the Part Numbers of the File Servers?
Thanks,

HeadsUp technology says this about baud rate settings
XMD Baud Rate Dipswitch Settings
The baud rate for the XMD receivers is controlled by dipswitches 7 and 8. These are the switches located adjacent to the bottom connector and are the farthest from the connector. Switch 8 is the outmost.
