Jon, were you able to determine that there were no magnets BEFORE you
performed the surgery? Is it your understanding that the magnetless
configuration is now standard on GX30 antennas?

The idea of putting magnets in a device intended (or at least likely) to be
placed atop an aircraft glareshield (and invariably in close proximity to
the wet compass) has to be put in the category of "what were they thinking?"
