How did the radar image look? -- Peter

radar image look? Nope -- this is entirely separate from the Mode-S system. It is a data uplink that simply reproduces center's radar in real time, on your MFD. It is awesome, and looks just like the radar you see in a tower tour. Garmin is making the box that does the magic, and the FAA is building the ground stations. I picked up some literature on it, but can't find it in the "unpacking mess" that always follows a trip of this nature. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
