If multiple sources of altitude data are supplied to the GPS 500W/GNS 530W, only valid data from the highest priority source is used (input priority cannot be configured). If the highest priority source becomes unavailable, data is taken from the next-highest priority source.

If a COM antenna is found to be the problem, a 1.57542 GHz notch filter (Garmin P/N 330-00067-00) may be installed in the VHF COM coax, as close to the COM as possible. This filter is not required for the GNS 530W transmitter.
