    Inexpensive IFR approach GPS unit

    Yes I know the $3200 does make it into a Waas unit. I believe if you send one in that is the only option you have(no $1000 repair and keep it as a non waas unit). For others I found the Mid Continent CDI to be for Kln94, klx89b, 90b Midcontinent the MD-40-232(L) and for Garmin GNC...

    Inexpensive IFR approach GPS unit
