I ordered a Garmin 330 Mode-S transponder to get the TIS info.
There is a new AD requiring software version 3.03, 3.04, or 3.05.
The effective date of the AD is 9 July 2004.

Pretty funny since I got the AD before I took delivery of the transponder.
Garmin will reimburse up to an hour of shop time to update the software.

I also plan to have an old Mode-C transponder along for backup.
There are times when a little anonymity can be a good thing.

Greg

Greg and Brian,

I understand the reasons for not wanting the mode S, aircraft ID all the
time, but I file 90% of the time, and when I don't I'm using flight
following. So this wasn't a drawback for me. I REALLY like the TIS. It has
saved a friend of mine from a mid air already and has helped me out on
several occasions. 

I also had Apollo GX55 in my aircraft before switching to the Garmin 530. I
have had MANY Garmin products, so I liked the GX55, but not nearly as well
as previous Garmin products. I think the Apollo radio, SL30, is an
outstanding comm. I would buy one if I needed another comm.

I also received the AD on the 330. I called my avionics shop to inquire if
the upgrade had been done. I was told that the shops were notified of the AD
back in Feb, so it had already been handled.

Steve

I would like to sell my 295 to upgrade to the 296. I purchased it new and
have had Garmin do the upgrades on it. The software is the latest version on
the Jeppesen data is two cycles old. I have all the original accessories as
well as a 16 MB chip installed for the street information. It is in
excellent condition. If you are interested please contact me off list.

Thanks,
Steve
