Just went in to the avionics shop today to check on the installation
work they are doing (SL-40 COM, PS-4000 intercom/panel, & G396 wired to
both). Turns out that Garmin just cut the price $300 on the 396 so its
now at $2195.
Anyway, if anyone has been out there waiting, looks like Garmin dropped
their pricing right before Oshkosh.
So far, I've been playing with the 396 at home since the plane is still
in pieces waiting for the radio to arrive. Looks like the weather
features will be really nice, and the screen is a huge upgrade from the
195 that used to be in the plane.
