Ho, ho, ho....!

Me, I'm asking Santa for a new, solid-state transponder -- which is about
as
dull as socks & underwear, but the third digit on mine keeps going wacky
once in while. I *hate* it when ATC thinks I've set my squawk code
wrong...

What are you hoping to find in YOUR stocking on Christmas morn?

I've already bought my wife a knot meter for the boat. Mothing new for the
plane. I'm still recovering from the 430 last year.

What the heck is a "knot meter"? A speedometer? (Or, more correctly, a
"water-speed indicator"?)

Don't boats come with those things standard?

The bigger the boat the less likely it is to come with. There are too many options.

Also, power boaters think a GPS 'is' a knot meter but (s)he may be a sailor.

Yep. I assume for historical reasons they are called "knot meters".

I know it's hard to believe, but unlike airplanes, speed isn't a critical
parameter on a boat. :-)

Ummm...well....

Groping our way through fog, timing distance to marks etc, we
like to know our speed very accurately..

And for "trimming " the planing angle of a large planing hull,
a knot meter that reads in 1 knt increments (digital) is VERY useful
for maxing fuel economy...

Isn't that what GPS is for? :-)

Last time I was on a boat, on Lake Michigan, my friend had a GPS the size of
a color TV. He could dock his boat without looking out the window!
