I knew something that I shouldn't. My comeback was that they were behind
Garmin, and everybody wondered if Honeywell/Bendix/King was going to

the non-APEX user, afterall, they sure wouldn't have much demand for APEX
with us fellows that own a 30+ year old plane. They got more serious and
said absolutely and that one of the options that they are looking into for
the new panel mount was adding the traditional Com/Nav, similar to Garmin's

They are nuts if they don't make their new WAAS boxes integrated
GPS/NAV/COMM. They would beat anything Garmin's got if the new products also
