I guess that would mean that the $150 radio in my car is more robust
than the $3,500 radio in your airplane? I sure don't have an
avionics master switch in my car.

The rocket is teaching me lots of lessons. Like: Don't start the engine
with your radio on. I tried that last Sunday and was rewarded with a
blank screen on the SL30. According to the helpful Garmin tech, the
wiring in the radios will catch some, but not all voltage spikes, fuses
don't help and the radios should be kept off during startup. I must
have been distracted by that Cessna . . .

Just for grins, I just went out to the garage and started my 1997
Dodge truck and my 2002 Altima, both with the radio on. Go try it on
your vehicle and tell me that your radio isn't switched out of the
circuit during the start cycle. Might not be....but mine were. There is,
of course, an ulterior motive to this behaviour....power to start when
in much colder climes. This is only presented as a point of interest,
not contention.
On another note, anyone ever look at the following technology?
