I don't know what your practice will consist of, but wouldn't the free Garmin trainer serve that purpose better? See this for (very large) down load: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloadsUpdates.jsp?product=010-00412-01&cID=194&pID=301 I have this trainer on my computer and it works great -- probably better than anything that you could set up.

The GPS side uses a 78-pin connector that looks like a D-subminiature 78-pi n connector. -Mouser has them for around $10. -But Garmin tech told me that their connectors are not "computer connector" but "aviation connector" ; at $125, it sure feel like aviation grade and price. Would this work: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=EP%2f j%252b8r7ekpZ... - Thanks in advance. - Robin Hou ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:34:54 AM PST US From: Jay Maynard Subject: Re: Avionics-List: 400W/420W/430W Power cable On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 09:59:21AM -0400, bakerocb@cox.net wrote: > I don't know what your practice will consist of, but wouldn't the free > Garmin trainer serve that purpose better?

I agree, with one exception: it's the non-WAAS version, and the included firmware is a version behind. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC, PP-ASEL, AGI http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (KFRM) (Yes, that's me!)
