Used the new Stratus on a trip from Denver to Houston and back.
Had service from about 35 miles south of Denver for the rest of the trip. Radar depiction was excellent in terms of correlating with what I could see out the window. Updates for the region radar appeared to be less than every ten minutes. Never did get lightning depiction. Dunno what's up with that. A few other things were missing like sat images. TFR data did update in flight but it didn't show TFR expiration particularly well.
Also finally found the transponder problem - broken coax at the antenna connector. If you ever need avionics work done in Houston, Brazos Avionics at EFD does an excellent job. James has been around a long time and sticks with it until the problem is solved. Just an excellent job.
