Subject: Pietenpol-List: GPS / HandheldOK, so I'll admit to using a GPS for backup, on cross country flights. The mount I made for it was in the center of the panel, along the lower edge, but it didn't work out...much too difficult to get in & out. The other big problemI have with all this eee lec tronic crap in my cockpit, is that the Magellan Skyblazer XL GPS causes lots of interference with my ICOM handheld, andhas to be turned off, to use the com radio. Question: Does anyone else have an interference problem with the GPS ?Chuck GantzerWichita KSNX770CGweekend Kansas flying weather, is looookin' goood !!________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 04 Oct 2003 08:16:42 -0500
