Interesting.  This must be an innovation in the "A" series, because my 4
year old G-1000 doesn't have it.

In fact, it's worth mentioning that the A series control boxes appear to be
almost totally revamped internally.  A lot fewer discrete components than
the earlier ones, and entirely different schemes for adjusting the display.
 On my G-800SA, the overlap light comes on if there is a wiring fault.  All
in all, seems like continuous improvement at work...
