Trimble 2000X Navigator? According to this website, it will be
certified to TSO C146a (as Garmin GNS480) and at $6,500, this sounds
like a good deal. I have a Trimble GPS, but I thought Trimble sold its
aviation GPS business to Free Flight Systems.

Any inside story?

Yes, the Trimble aviation GPS receivers are now FreeFlight. They have
been working on a GAMMA 3 TSO C146a receiver. I am not aware of a
expected certification date. It will be significantly less expensive
than the only other C146 receiver, but will lack fancy features such as
COMMs, NAVs, and a moving map display. They key feature will be it's
ability to use WAAS enabled procedures such as LPV.
