One thing I've not been able to tell from any of the reviews or the
AV8OR web site. Can units that get their XM WX via WxWorx provide the XM
Radio channels like the Garmin 396/496?


The answer to that question is, unfortunately, NO (it's in the FAQs
somewhere).

There are hints all over the place that Bendix/King has numerous upgrades
planned for this platform. One of the obvious ones would be an E6B (as was
pointed out to me on another forum) function. Another would be XM radio.
For the experimental folks (like me), it would be nice if the unit provided
data to run a wing leveler. In the experimental world, there are several
$2k wing levelers that do an outstanding job of following a GPS course. All
they need is a signal...
