Reese says about half of the US airline fleet already is equipped
with radios that can handle both the 25-kHz and 8.33-kHz spacing.

Hell, my LSA will have an 8.33kHz capable radio...that's standard on the
GNS430W.

Why pay money for 8.33 if you don't fly in Europe?

Good question. If it wasn't standard on the GNS430W, I wouldn't pay extra
for it. I got the 430 for lots of other reasons.

I wonder why that is?

Thanks for the information.

Probably because it was easy and cheap to implement, and didn't add any (or
very much) complexity to the computer-driven user interface.

Ah, right. 8.33 MHz is probably a feature of the chip-set employed in
the circuit design. There would be little reason not to implement it
given the digital (as opposed to step switches) nature of the user
interface.
