Well they make many items that could be considered radio/gps combos,
including the 496, 396, 430, and 530 and I'd have to answer that yes those
work well in airplanes.

Yeah, I kind of made a couple of assumptions the 1) that he was referring
to a portable unit


Correct

and 2) that "radio" meant "transceiver."

correct.

Who knows, maybe
he saw a 430/530 WAAS ad for the first time.


Nope, they on't have built in antennas do they?

Cheers



But Flaps, In the original message you didn't specify built in antennas.
