En-Route
...with another Apollo GPS.
Currently I have GX55 and an Icom A200. GX55 is en-route only and has no Comm. GX60 is approach capable and has a Comm radio too.
I'd like to replace the GX55/A200 with just a GX60. Has anyone worked with these units - how much rewiring is there? I know the GX60 needs the antenna for comms/audio panel which are already there for the A200, and the annunciator is slightly more complicated with the GX60. But apart from that, how complicated would this really be?
I can sell the GX55/A200 for roughly the same amount that I can buy a GX60 with the annunciator, so it would be - I think - a relatively cost neutral upgrade (cost neutral = less than 1 AMU?), unless someone can tell me why the systems aren't anywhere compatible and I should just upgrade to G1000...
Mission is just to get my IR in it, it's a 150M so it'll never be a hardcore IFR monster.
