Curtis -

Much to my chagrin, it was I who started the thread title "Garmin 530 
boycott".  Sorry this got attributed unfairly to you.  Maybe with eight years 
under Bill Clinton's presidency I've learned how to remain untarred by the 
broad brush of scandal.  Sorry -- this was not intended.  Mea culpa.

Rereading your original post I discover that I pretty much agree with you 
completely-- we should be allowed to install just about any equipment 
ourselves with the understanding that the oversight of an approved shop may 
be required by a manufacturer.  How much help you get from that shop would 
vary with each individual builder.  I guess I differ with Hamid on this 
point, but I respect his opinion and I certainly understand where he's coming 
from.

The whole thread has been fascinating, though somewhat academic for me as 
I'll be stuck with my hand held GPS for a while.  Maybe I'll swipe that King 
ADF from my Cessna 150, too, so I can listen to Rush Limbaugh....

On an ever-so-slightly different topic, why will King/AlliedSignal/Honeywell 
insist on installing a new KX-155 for me, but they'll be quite happy to let 
me install a factory reconditioned one?  Where's the logic here?

Always stirring the pot, I am!
