Jay, any problems with either new radio or the other goodies?

Nope. The ICOM A5 works as advertised, and is WAY better than my old (and
ten-times bigger) ICOM A21. I can clearly and easily receive Iowa City
AWOS from my home with this thing -- something that was very scratchy and
intermittent with the old model.

And the new NARCO 810R -- the slide-in replacement for our old NARCO 120
com -- has been truly wonderful. Once we located the proper sized allen
wrench (thanks again, Greg -- I've still got your wrench set!), it literally
slid right into the tray where the 120 used to live -- and has worked
perfectly ever since.

It's digital, transmissions are crystal clear, it's flip-flop, and -- best
of all -- it's got 10 memory pre-sets that I can actually access in flight!
(Unlike our old TKM MX170B, that required an awkward simultaneous
2-button-push that was virtually impossible in even light turbulence.)

And the AvMap continues to just blow us away. We just got back from a
flight over to Pella (a neat old-world Dutch settlement) with the kids, and
we just couldn't stop raving about it. What an amazing tool this thing is!
