Had a long flight yesterday. To check weather, at several points I pressed NRST and cycled through to the FSS display. At least twice, the top three or so FSS stations were flickering rapidly, like the 540 couldn't decide which order to display them. See video, which includes GPS location in case that's relevant. I haven't seen this before and it was challenging to make use of the display. Everything else was working well.

Please let Avidyne Tech Support know. They will want your logs. Maybe they can get this fixed for 10.2.1.

Those top three that are flickering are all appear to be from the same location since the distance is identical. There are two different frequencies plus a VOR identifier.

Perhaps the system needs a second criteria to order on when this happens.

I have reported this to Avidyne tech support via email.

I'll be launching on another cross-country tomorrow, so I will poke around and see if there is other useful info that I can find.
