I know that OnTop requires things like a radio stack to be plugged in in
order to actually qualify as a PCATD device. If you don't have that and the
other required "accessories" then you can only use it for "Personal Use" -
it won't even start up in PCATD mode without them.

Yes. I think the walk-away cost to have a "loggable" PCATD is north of
$3000. As an example, I think ASA is cheaper than Elite and they want
$3,195 for their setup (http://www.asa2fly.com/category1.asp?

Speaking of ASA, has anyone used their new On Top version 9? I'm sad
to see that the interface still looks like it's 15 years old. The
G1000 is of no interest at the moment but the RealityXP 430 seems
interesting.
