## Discrepancy

"OMEGA" BRAND NAME OF CONNECTORS USED ON THE ALCOR CHT/EGT PROBES. THE SCREWS THAT HOLD THE CONNECTOR AND CONNECTION OF THE WIRE FOR THE PROBES WILL WORK LOOSE CAUSING A FALSE OR NO INDICATION ON THE G-1000 SYSTEM. NEEDS TO HAVE SOMEWAY TO LOCK THE SCREWS INTO PLACE, SUCH AS LOCTITE OR A STAR WASHER. NOTE, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM.
