Great article on the impacts of GPS jamming/spoofing here: https://spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/aviation/faa-files-reveal-a-surprising-threat-to-airline-safety-the-us-militarys-gps-tests Of course the US Military must prepare for the threat. While our hardware detects outages, we pilots usually fail to detect spoofing events, and if well done our hardware doesn't detect them either. In cruise I'll occasionally verify position by tuning in a nearby VOR and verifying that I'm on the correct radial. However, doing a true position verification using two VORs is often not possible at the altitudes where I most often fly. In preparation for potential operations in the MON VOR world, having DME would be nice. I've occasionally thought about installing a used DME. What is the go-to model? What about weight/power penalty? Is installing DME worth it as backup nav data to GPS?

Hi all, I have some avionics/instruments for sale due to my upgrade. I would rather sell to someone I know vs Ebay, so I thought I would post.

Want to learn to fly IFR old school with steam guages and no gps in my 74 m20F. Right now the only equipment i have is single kx155a with glidescope. Not interested in purchasing IFR gps at this time. What other equipment would you recommend I install. I'm thinking second com/nav radio with second CDI , and a maybe DME? Not sure if it's worth the money to upgrade panel with antique equipment. Will I want DME? Will i want second com/nav and CDI needle? How about ADF?, NDB?... What other equipment is useful that I could install for relatively (for ga) cheap? Planning on updating panel with IFR gps and ads-b transponder in 2020 but till then just need minimal equipment to train and fly occasional light IMC. Thanks for any input.
