It's true that removing the spherical tip shortened the antenna and raised its resonant frequency . . . but I doubt that it makes much difference from a performance perspective. Most manufacturers put those balls on for reducing risk of personal injury . . . kinda like those plastic hoodies they put on ends of re-bar extending out the top of concrete walls on a construction site. In another instance, the spherical tip COULD be intended to reduce coronal discharge at the tip during transponder reply time when voltages at the tip might be several thousand volts . . . and at altitude where the rarified air ionizes easier. But replacing it is probably a personal preference for reducing the severity of the wound should anyone inadvertently come in contact with it.

I pretty much have the same switch assignment on my Aero Grip. I hate having a switch installed in the airplane that does not do something... now that I eliminated the starter feature perhaps I could assign that switch to something already installed in the airplane like the taxi light, seat vibratory massage, satcom internet, or the disco ball motor... or... I guess I will have to dream up some new feature to add to the airplane so that the switch can actually do something. THANKS AGAIN!!!

The HX series have a number of "pages". PFD, Engine, Map, etc. There is a "page flip" function where pressing a switch will cause the page to toggle between PFD and Map screen. So while you're flying along, hit the "page" button on the stick and the screen changes to a full screen map. Hit the button again, and it goes back to the PFD.
