The basic service is free, if you want the advanced services, there are subscriptions, just as ILS ( Inventory Locator Service) works. Here in Australia I have found Parts Logistics very very useful for a small organisation, ILS subs start at about US$800 PA. Re. Becker, it's good stuff, but not cheap, nothing in Europe is cheap. If I was looking for good used nav equipment, for a Bulldog, I would be looking at something like the Collins VIR30A, ensuring that the p/n I was looking for was the one with LOC/GS/Marker all in the one box. And it is all small and light enough to hide behind the seats.You should be able to find them for less than $1000 with mounting hardware and plugs, probably less than $200 for a control head, re. service and parts they are still well supported. Avionics shops with Becker technical documentation will not be thick on the ground. A good friend of mine in Australia is the Au/NZ Becker agent, sales here have been very slow, compared to the "traditional" US manufacturers, sadly that is not going to change any time soon. With a minimal installed base, there is little incentive for independent avionics shops to purchase expensive "approved data". I rather suspect the same is true in US. Regards, Bill Hamilton.
