I agree with loosing the marker beacon receiver.  Even if you shoot an ILS y=
ou can use the GPS overlay on your map (navigation display) for the marker l=
ocation, so no need for MB's much anymore when you have a cert.  GPS. =20

Consider putting in an ADS-B system.  It will be required in 2020, only 6 sh=
ort years away.  Plus you get free traffic and satellite weather.  Prices co=
ming down too.
