Cool. Thanks.

I was completely unaware of the KT76 Transponder interference problem with
the GlobalStar phones. Interesting that NONE of the guys at the
ControlVision booth at OSH mentioned it...

I might suggest checking out the forums hosted on ControlVision's website.

The opinions offered there are unstinting -- good and bad. You'll get a
pretty good handle on the product.

Mark,
I have the AWX system and use it regularly. Flew to KPTS and they tried
the system in my 310 (which has an old KT-76) and there was no interference.
Between my StormScope & AWX I get a real good idea of where I want to go and
where I want to avoid. I like getting the cloud tops (which is new) and
TAF's & METAR's while in the air. I had the mod done to the Sat Phone that
allows me to plug in to the Lightspeed 3G headset and make phone calls from
the air. I usually let my wife make the calls. That works very well. I
have had the Anywhere WX since January 03 and if I had to decide again right
now would go with Control Vision again. I have an Ipaq 3835 and have had
no problems with it, only occasional download failures. I recently upgraded
to Ipaq 5555 and have had more trouble with it. I expect that the bugs will
be worked out in the 5555, meanwhile I am going to keep the 3835 until I
know for sure.
