Default Garmin 496-XM Radio-PS Engineering Intercom Follow up...

I'm glad you've finally discovered the joys of the 396/496! It's a
great box. A game changer. Better ones will follow but this is a great
one.


It truly is amazing what that little box can do. When you pick it up,
and roll it around in your hands, and you see that it weighs, what,
less than a pound (?) -- it seems like such a rip-off to pay nearly $3K
for it.

Yet this one little box captures and displays weather, provides
in-flight entertainment, and is a fully-functional GPS! It truly is a
wonder of modern technology.
