Thanks for the tip on Sat weather. I've looked at the options and
decided on XM weather using the GNS 530 display and the Garmin GDL-69
receiver.

Reads like you have an excellent setup there. You will really
appreciate having weather and traffic in the cockpit.

Is that the Garmin receiver that also receives XM's digital music
service?

Peter,
This is the one for WX only, but Garmin offers it with a music option.
The "music box" is $800 (I think) more. Could be worth it, but the
monthly subscription is about double. I have XM music in the GMC
pickup and don't use it that much.

$800 more plus a subscription? With my portable XM receiver taken from
my truck, I have XM music in my aircraft for the cost of an extra
antenna (US $35) and 14v power adapter from Radio Shack ($70). My
passengers and I really enjoy background music while at cruise.

Good idea. I'll pursue that!
