There is one more possiblity. I was trained to turn my transponder on during run up instead of start up. I was getting short errors in my reports also and thought I had to keep moving my antennas around more. I found out that the error was likely from not having the transponder set to mode C on

I agree with Mark. I installed a kissing cousin version Echo w/ GRT gps. Easy install, and the price is favorable. My old efis just does not want to display the available data. I use Foreflight on my I pad mini and it gives me that info. It is nice to have weather available when at altitude
