Guys:
My Lancair IV came out of the “project
hanger” following a 19 month turbine conversion. Prior to the
project I utilized WSI viewed through my MX20. Following 3 months of flight
testing and tweaking I brought my airplane to the radio shop to get all of my
avionics checked and to get the airplane IFR certified. This is when I
learned of the WSI issues that are now upon its users. I have been told
that as an existing customer I should soon be receiving a letter explaining
that I will be given no cost new hardware to replace my existing WSI stuff.
I will have to pay for installation but that cost should be nominal. Is
this consistent with what you guys have been hearing?

Thanks for the feed back on the WSI--the problem must be
local. Are both of you switching to the new antenna and WSI Sirius
service in the next couple months? Are there any alternatives for the
CNX-480/MX20 combo for weather?

I flew from eastern NY to
Maine and
back yesterday in some challenging and varied weather and the WSI was its
usual, reliable self. I did have some signal loss warnings from WAAS
satellites on the CNX 80 but the GPS still gave waypoint and flight plan
information and displayed it on the MX20
