They actually fixed that issue. But the Honeywell is still way behind the Garmin. Honeywell won't admit it. My Honeywell might as well run on coal. It's bulletproof but it's not sexy.

Thanks! When I look at planes, I keep those thoughts in mind. Actually, the more I look at things, the more convinced I become you made a great decision going the direction you did. Very few of your planes on the market; they've kept their value very well. Bunch of KA-200s on Controller and value has dropped a lot. Only negative is the large amount of capital it takes to purchase one  I still prefer two engines, but have flown singles enough to be comfortable, especially, when they are turbines.

I hate the intercomm and mic switch on those. Whose idea was that? That problem can be solved using the VOX knob hehe
