I just find it comical that throughout my avionics upgrade, many people
categorically gave the knee-jerk reaction to install a Garmin 430 or 530
and that the
KNS-80 was "obsolete junk." Apparently, if you don't fly behind a color,
moving-map,

I'm with you all the way... when I finish upgrading my panel at the end of
this year, I will retain every form of navigation known to piston general
aviation: VOR, KNS-80 VOR/DME RNAV, ILS, LDA, SDF, ADF, GPS, Loran

There is a VOR/DME RNAV approach to CRW (Charleston, WV); I fly it
occasionally with students in my airplane. When you fly the approach,
admire the approach lighting system built on bridges through the mountains..
quite an impressive engineering feat.
