REFLECTOR: Dream Panel

[Scott Derrick]

The owner of the T210 I fly every now and then wants to upgrade his radio
stack.  Pretty much every thing is 25 years old and being removed.

He has asked me to put together a complete package for IFR flying.  With
Sat WX capabilities.  He wants to keep the 6 pack instruments which
include an HSI.

Lots of folks on this list have completed their panels and I wonder what
they would think of my selection.

Here's my list from top to bottom

1.) PMA8000B PS Engineerging Audio Panel/Intercom : he wants to be able to
plug in his IPod and tap into the XM Sat music

2.) MX20  Garmin MFD :  to display Jeep View charts, XM Sat weather, etc..

3.) GNS480  Garmin GPS/ILS/COM :

4.) SL30 Garmin NAV?COM : backup for GNS480

5.) GTX327  Garmin Transponder : I thought about the GTX330 but wondered
if it was worth the $$$

6.) 55X  S-Tec Autopilot : 2 axis, GPS, GPSS, ILS

7.) GDL69 Garmin Sat Weather reciever :  Anybody using any others? good
stories or bad?

8.) 106A  Garmin CDI :  backup for HSI

thanks,

Scott
