This comes off the Bonanza list, I know nothing at all about it but for those who do want inflight weather, there are a lot of options coming on the market.
>>>We are marketing a new product for weather in the cockpit from WxWorx. >>>It is a portable satellite receiver and uses the XM satellite radio >>>satellites. It will display current weather data on a PC such as a >>>laptop, tablet, or EFB. There is also an option to display the weather >>>on a PDA. The receiver with the PC software is $860.00. To receive the >>>data, you subscribe to XM radio, they charge a $75 activation fee plus >>>$50 per month (the first month is prorated). The PC software includes >>>the following graphical products: Doppler Radar, Cloud Echo Tops, Metars, >>>Lightning Strikes, TAFs, Sigmets and Airmets, and Winds Aloft. The data >>>is continously streamed down to the receiver. Every 5 minutes, the >>>entire USA Radar data is broadcast. It has a loop feature that shows the >>>movement of the Radar data or the cloud tops data. Other data comes at >>>various intervals, such as Metar and TAF which are sent every 12 minutes. >>>There is also a Patented feature from WxWorx Storm Cell Identification >>>and Tracking (SCITs) offering 15-minute storm path projection for the >>>worst storm centers. The radar data pixel is a 2 x 2 km, the same size as >>>the WSI unit. The satellites can be received anywhere in the US where there is a view of the southern sky and since the receiver is portable, it can be carried to the home, office, hangar, or boat. The receiver is about the size of a portable CD player and the antenna is about half the size of a mouse and just sets on the glare shield. If anyone is interested, they can contact me off list.
