philiplane Posted January 5, 2020 Report Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I found that the later radar capable Garmin MX20's have better cooling than their Apollo predecessors. So the screens don't overheat and go bad like the older & non-radar ones. Garmin had changed a few other components in the dimming circuit when they went to a rocker style switch, replacing the rotary dimmer knob. If anyone is having a problem with their older MX20, and doesn't want to break the bank replacing it, there is one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133289101121?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I had done this swap about a year ago and it cost me a lot more than this one is going for so far.

SantosDumont Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 I have this one in my plane. I didn't realize it could do radar too. Does it get radar from NEXRAD or does it need an actual radar unit? Quote
