Fear mongering has been a very effective tactic of certain leans for decades. The stchic? Make bold claims with no basis in fact to influence uneducated populations to adopt the person or groups goals. The more noise you make, the more valid the claims must be. Thus, it must be true! When faced with real data, deny, redirect and make counter accusations, again, with no basis in fact. It’s worked great for them, especially in areas where the population is easily influenced and manipulated.

150 is worth way more than 20k these days. Extremely tempting to enter.

There are several overhaul shops in the United States fully capable of taking care of this problem. In addition, they OH sell units as well if the shipping yours across the world is not desirable on your time frame needs. Some that come to mind are: https://rudyaircraftinstruments.com https://flyaqi.com Or you could always just purchase a new DG. or like others mentioned, step up to a digital HSI like a Garmin display.

I assume you guys are following this thread as well.

I use Radar Scope Pro at home. It gives raw data, unsmoothed which I believe gives a more accurate picture. I’m not a huge fan of how FF manipulates the radar product at all.

Are you a veteran or have one in the family who will buy for you? Apple will give you a discount if so. https://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/veterans_military

Wish it was a slide in replacement. Seems that if you are going after the form factor, it makes sense ala GNS - IDF or GMA - PMA 450. I suspect they would sell well if it was so. I have an SL30 and if it goes out, I’ll go GNC 255B. But if the Trig was a slide in, I’d take it for the savings in labor and downtime no question.

So the problem was because of your equipment, not theirs correct?

You won’t regret it. Expensive, yes. But worth it.

Because scammers cruise the WTBs knowing you are more likely to bite. It’s a very well known approach, and fraught with copious amounts of stories just like yours. Buyer must be extremely aware as it’s easy to get duped.

Posting a WTB is nothing more than an invitation to get scammed. Like Crack, just don’t do it.

It’s more like when you hit a big hand on the craps table and toss the dealer a $10 chip tip. If you think CA is gonna let 97b slip through their hands, I’ve got beachfront property in Arizona I’d like to sell you.

I run an O2D2 for the front seats and the 3 in the back back get cannulas. I generally run around mid teens if I’m going somewhere. I’ve kicked around getting another D2 but so far, it has been a nonissue. I bought a welding tank, the big one, off Craigslist and then did an exchange at Airgas. I have the trans fill, single tank set up from Mtn High and fill sloooooowwwwwlllllyyyyyy with the tanks resting in a bucket of water. This has worked very well for me over the course of the last 5 years. The Transfill was the most expensive part on the supply side with the D2 being the most expensive. I say if you are getting into the O2 scene, buy once, cry once. But get the O2D2 set up/combo from Mtn High and stop worrying about it.

Cheap, garage sale scanner aught to do juuuust fine. They are cheap. You can also fab up a home brew antenna on a mag mount to get good reception whilst the bonnet is closed. That’s what I’d do if economy was a primary factor.
