Hello Don,
sorry was not very active over Xmas and as I'm not seen any answer here
my experience. I'm running PocketFMS (as Anywhere Map is not so useful
outside the US) on my Hx4700 and did change autum 2007 from WM2003 to
WM6.0 and it was a difference which was noticeable, mostly by freeing
some memory. 6.0 for the 4700 is a non official version, but running
fine, very stable, faster and does not loose all your settings when the
battery goes flat.
You can see some perf tests here:
<http://www.pocketfms.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3954>
The description how to upgrade is seen here
<http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?s=151039929fbc914bba3cdba863cd00e4&t=246529>
(read carefully and reread before you start) I had some difficulties to
find the image, let me know if you can not find it I might still have it
somewhere.
Good luck and have fun!
Werner

Remember if your encoder is not TCAS and not mode C it possibly can give low
flying transport planes a good fright if you are anywhere near a flight
path. Best idea is to send the Xpndr to a shop for testing. They have the
proper testing apparatus and I generally only takes a few seconds. Easier
than that is to take a short flight and see if ATC copies your Xpndr.

sorry you can't test much at home on a transponder. Many units do not
transmit when in 'test' or 'ident' so even if you have a reception device
handy you wont find anything. However if you have an antenna connected and
the unit gets interrogated by other sources you may be able to hear the HV
power supply whistling under load as the cavity tube sends the reply. If its
all hooked up to the encoder you may be able to get a check from a friendly
TCAS equipped plane or a fellow aircraft owner that has a passive alert
system available. Do not put any equipment or body parts too close to the
antenna unless you were about to replace them anyway.
