Hi David,
Although I'm not familiar with your particular Garmin, I have a Garmin 250XL
installed in my Europa. The 250XL has a provision to allow remote toggling
of the active and standby COM channels. I would imagine yours does too. I have
this feature wired to a button on my left stick. The input requires a
momentary ground from the switch on the stick grip to toggle the channels.
Early
on, my Garmin started doing what you describe, toggling between active and
standby channels. It seemed to have a mind of it's own. Turned out that the
switch in my Ray Allen stick grip had gone bad. It was intermittently grounding
the toggle wire to the Garmin and was causing the errant toggling of the COM
channels.
If you have your radio wired this way, that could be the culprit.
Good luck with this and your trip!
Anyway, hope it helps!
Regards,
John Lawton
