Does Mode S with TIS displayed on the GNS 430W have enough practical value 

to justify the $2000 cost to upgrade to the GTX 330 from the GTX 327?



Is anyone using it now?

I haven't seen it on a 430W before, but even on the small

screen on my 480 it's plenty worthwhile, and even better

on the larger Chelton screens.  I'd say that if you're

living out East by you, it's probably one of those

nearly must-have things if you're not going to have ADS-B

coverage there.

Eric,



I have a fully integrated Chelton EFIS system will almost all of the

bells and whistles.  The WSI weather (some use XM) overlay is to me the

best bang for the buck, followed closely by some form of graphic traffic

system. I am using the TIS format, when you are in a busy terminal area

you have good traffic depiction.  At work I have TCAS and find that TIS

works very will by comparison.  I have a simple proximity system for the

non-terminal areas.
