skip it... the days of getting an extra 50feet on the ILS
are over and GPS distance is better.  heck, who wants
another antenna slowing you down any ways?

Rob,  

I was under the impression that I had to have some sort of Distance to
make an ILS legal.  That is; required items include localizer,
glideslope, & DME (or marker beacon).  I came to the conclusion that I'd
put the marker antenna internally on the baggage floor for legality,
safety, and all around cheap guy factor.  Then my VFR GPS could augment
my safety for distance purposes.  This I arrived at because at the time
I thought DME was very expensive duplication of a VFR GPS and the marker
beacon would be a legal substitution for many approaches.  Is / Was my
logic flawed?  Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
