Thank you all for your replies.

My shop has a Northstar M2 that they just removed from an Aero Commander, so we are going to try swapping that in place of the M1 to see if the problems go away (just in case it is the airplane, not the box). (They are not going to install the GPS portion of the M2.)

If the M2 works, I will likely send in the M1 to be repaired, as it has been very reliable, and Northstar will put in a new receiver board for $150. If I buy another unit, who knows what intermittants I may be buying.

It may be throwing good money after bad, I dunno. I really don't want to spend another 3 - 4K on the KLN90B and install right now...although I think the KLN90B might be just what I am looking for, since I am not enthusiastic about 10K for an installed G430, and I get all the moving map I want from the G295... The KLN90B would fit in the same panel space as the Northstar too.

I need to be wealthy, it would make these decisions easier.

Kevin
