excellent.


Get back to me when a board inside your 430 goes. :-)

In my case, Garmin could only come down to US $300 to repair my failed
glideslope receiver a mere 14 months after their first repair of this
component. Also, I had to add another squawk to the unit going back:
The PROC button was becoming non-responsive, only working every other press
or so.

I will admit that I am happy that Garmin provides free loaner units while
our units are sent in for the repair. However, I am grumbling about the
fact that there is no way to preserve the user-changed settings, waypoints,
and flight plans when the unit is sent in for repair. Upon return of the
repaired unit, this will be the third time I will have to apply my
preferred changes.
