I noticed that no one seems to have one piece of equipment that will do it all. As you say, each separate piece that is needed to make a complete system really adds up. I wanted to yell at the king guys I talked to because they act like buying multiple pieces is no big deal!! I will bet someone will build a cheaper single box that will do it all and kick everyone's butt!! A big push was on at Oshkosh to allow non certified equipment and owner installed equipment in certified aircraft that may be better than certified. The bureaucrats in the FAA are in such a state of cover ass, slow development down because of their laziness or whatever it is that it takes forever for already outdated technology to show up for sale to the public. If I were King for a day!!
