Jim,

Again, you show that you are a true gentleman in the aviation business.

Were I to request the loan of a radio, I would expect to pay:
- insured postage both ways.
- a deposit of the commerical value of the radio at 150% of its value to you.
- I'd expect that you would cash my check and write me a check back when
you agree that the radio is returned, less any maintenance required.

Yeah, but he doesn't have an Garmin 530's, I'd take a CNX 80 myself... G
