I'm thinking more about contest situations. At Parowan this year we
had TFRs in the task area most days. Having the PDA programmed to
always load "dailytfrs.sua", even if the file is empty, would make for
an easy daily procedure.


I'll like that feature during our fire season, when we might have 10 or
more fire TFRs within reach (WA, OR, ID) in a bad year.

I use a Garmin 396 with XM weather. It's $50 a month for the weather
service. Displays TFR's, and all manner of weather data including lightning
strikes and winds aloft.
