Ed,

Hey, how's it going? Yes, I do have a good reason for not considering a
transponder at this time - no space for it in my panel, and not enough
useful load left to carry both it and the battery necessary to power it
(and I'm not about to steal operating time from the battery that powers
my radio, glide computer, GPS and iPAQ).

Hello, haven't heard from you in a while. I'm curious as to why your
research didn't include one whole class of CAS - transponders, both
Mode C and Mode S. I know that they are more expensive, but, knowing
you, I imagine you have a better reason than that.
