Thanks. Since I'm not flying in the US, I don't really have a need for all
the new functions that you guys are finally getting this year. I will look
at the 400, but I'm leaning more towards keeping a King stack... (Or adding
an MX20, since I already have an Apollo GPS).

Best Regards,

CGP.

Since I already have two very good radios, I think a Garmin 430 would be
a
waste of money (even if I traded in one of the KX155s).


At this point in time for a new IFR GPS installation, I think the Garmin
400/500 series or the UPSAT CNX-80 are the leading contenders since these
are the only GPS boxes for which their manufacturers have committed to
providing an upgrade for WAAS GPS precision approaches later this year.

If the Garmin 430 is overkill because you already have 2 Nav/Coms, you
might
consider the Garmin GPS 400, which offers the same GPS functions as the
Garmin 430 minus the Nav/Coms.
