We're considering adding a GNS 430 to our panel.

The club planes I fly all have 430s, and I like them. However, buying anew
I'd at least give some serious thought to the newer unit that Garmin bought
with UPS. The 430 is showing its age, and will require some hardware
swapping - from what I understand - to become WAAS compliant. More, Garmin
appears to be aiming more of their upgrades at the newer unit. Witness
that XM weather is available from Garmin for the new unit, but not for the
430.
