Are there supposed to be audible EGT warnings on the AFS 3500? I'm not getting any.

I just took off last week and was flying along all fat, dumb, and happy when I looked down and found all my EGT's in the RED!!! The cause was my own fault. I forgot to push the mixture in before takeoff. It would have been nice to hear Jenny reminding me that I am an idiot. :-)

Do you have the audio for them turned on ? In the Egt menu?

Hi Rob,

I confirmed the EGT audio is on.

Screen 1 - AFS-3500EF
Screen 2 - AFS-3500EM

I also did an audio check and found out that I can't hear the audio coming from screen 2 (engine monitor). I haven't done much digging yet, but is the audio transferred through the ethernet cable or do I need a separate audio wire from the engine monitor to my audio panel? I can't remember if I hooked one up or not.

You should only connect the audio from one of the screens, all the warnings should be sent from both screens. What version of software are you running?

I uploaded version AF3000V70104-MV12-AV40.zip to both screens on 3/31/10.
