Get an MX20.

Get an AviDyne MX500 instead.

Much better resolution and adds broadcast and multilink capacity.

http://www.avidyne.com/ex500/FlightMaxChallenge.shtm Check their comparison
with the MX20.



Worst, I have to subscribe to XM radio, which is excellent.

There's nothing wrong with the GDL69/69A that I've noticed so far. It's
the 530 which appears to be useless.

Not entirely, but could be much better.

BTW, what is the bandwidth on the GDL69/A? IIRC, the original 29 was about
1200BPS (or whatever the proper geek term is).
