No kidding. I'll need to add to the list of languages I speak, I
suppose.

How many are you fluent in?

It was a joke, nitwit.

That was certainly illuminating.

Find that link on a LRRP patrol in the 'Nam?

Do they broadcast European WX?

I don't think they currently offer it to the public. The USAF has a
contract with them to provide inflight WX content to their aircraft from USAF
weather sites.

I saw a picture of Rambo -- is that you?

I've got the 496, and -- apart from the weather and entertainment aspects of
the unit -- I dislike it intensely. It's got a creaky-slow processor, a
tiny, muddy-looking screen, and cost WAY too much.

You might check this out instead:

It's got more features, is cheaper to update, and has a bigger screen. I'm
contemplating saving my pennies for one, but I've got the 496 panel-docked,
so upgrading is going to be costly. If I do get one, I would end up using
the 496 for XM music only, which would make it the most costly entertainment
center ever...

You must have a defective unit -- the 496 we added to the Bonanzas
last fall is crisp, fast, and far exceeds my expectations.

No, you've just never flown with an AvMap. After you've had that unit on
board, with its brilliant, huge, full-color, portrait-oriented screen, a 496
is pretty primitive. Crude, in fact.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, AvMap has not pursued XM weather -- so
it's a non-starter nowadays.

Much like your thought processes.

In a 182 with XM at FL130 you get it get to about 41W

JGalban,

Because the XM satellites are parked above the western hemisphere. You
can't see them from Europe.


And what's mo The frequencies used by XM are allocated for SAR use in
Europe.
