My idea is to find a good used Apollo GX-50/GX-60 unit and replace the
ADF. No need to touch the Loran, it makes a good backup.

I have a GX 60 NO 1, Gx65 NO 2, Radar Altimeter, Annunciator, Glideslope, but
the main and most used GPS was and is a 195, 295, 196, 296 in that order of
purchace. Outside of the comm the portables have a lot more features. Look at
these closely before you buy a GX 60 or 430.

Yes, I know I could buy a 296 and a 196 for backup for what it would
cost merely to install an IFR panel GPS, let alone buy the box. But
it's not a legal replacement for ADF and DME. Neither is my M1 Loran
but it's more accurate and useful than either most of the time. FYI,
all the places I care about going have GPS Overlays of their ADF
approaches so I don't need the actual ADF.
