Sean,

I own the LS8-18 you used to fly. I have to disagree with your
statement "Transponders don't play well with others and don't like
sharing".

I replaced the Terra TRT250D and the Ameri-King AK-350 you had with a
Trig TT21. The Trig, an SN-10, a Becker AR-4201, a Volkslogger and an
iPAQ 3950 all run quite happily for up to 6 hours off one 9 AH
battery. As you know, there is another 9 AH battery ready to be
switched in as a spare, but I've never needed it.

The two other batteries were more than enough for a radio, SN10,
and PDA.
