 |
|
I have a Tommorrow (UPS AT) GX-65 GPS/COM. This unit can be used for
En-route IFR operations and has a TSO-C129a Class A2 certification. This is
basically the same unit as the GX-60 which is also certified for IFR
terminal and approach operations. My question is this, I'm guessing that
the only difference between the GX60 and 65 is the operational software
load. It may even be as simple as a change to a software configuration
table that activates additional features to enable the terminal and approach
capabilities. So.....is there any ex-UPS Aviation Technologies employees
lurking on this list that can tell me if my hypothesis is correct? And if
it there is, would they be willing to help me get this software load
configured so I can do approach and terminal ops with the GX65? Since the GX
series is no longer sold (now that Garmin has taken over UPS AT) I can't get
my GX-65 upgraded to a GX-60 by sending it back to the factory. I'm not too
keen on buying a Garmin 430 at this point (every time I think I'm done
spending money on this airplane something else comes along) so I'm looking
for some compromise here that won't break the bank.
