If I were displaying traffic on a GNS480, this would be handled by the GNS480 by that unit signalling the GTX330 to "log in" to TIS. I'm assuming that since I'm using a special converter to interface the GTX330 to my Chelton that this function is something I have to do manually. Is there anyone out there who can verify the operation of that transponder using that signal? Thanks in advance, Tim do not archive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:03:20 PM PST US From: "Greg Vouga" Subject: Avionics-List: EFIS Comparisons --> Avionics-List message posted by: "Greg Vouga" Hi all, I've been muddling through all the different EFIS's trying to decide which one to put in my RV-7A. I'm leaning toward the Blue Mountain E-1, but frankly, the company scares the hell out of me. I've even heard of several new systems that have come to market (or are about to) over the last year. I'd like to put together a comparison of features to help me with my decision. Has anyone already done this? If you already have a spreadsheet that you wouldn't mind sharing I would appreciate it. Thanks, Greg
