John,

I am preparing an email on the virtues and vices of ADS-B. Look = for=20 it in a few days.

There are several ways to get FIS-B (ADS-B weather) from the=20 ADS-B ground stations. But, why would you only want a piece of t= he=20 action now when you can get traffic (TIS-B, fo mo money) if, and only if, y= ou=20 are willing to transmit your detailed position and movement info. Han= g on,=20 there's more.......

Those of you with weather in the cockpit of your hi-speed craft -= =20 Isn't it more enjoyable to fly around weather than through it? And, i= f=20 everyone had weather, could the corridors around the weather become, uh,=20 congested? Wouldn't it be useful to have traffic too?

Stay tuned,

Scott Krueger

ADS-B is subscription free, so other than the initia= l $799=20 for the unit, there is no other monthly fee.

It sounds pretty useful and I=E2=80=99m pretty much = ready to pull=20 the trigger and buy it.

Do any of you guys have any additional information o= n this=20 set-up?
