Why not just fix up the loran and use the 295 . I think the 295 does just about everything the 430 does! I have used the 295 when I had an hsi failure and it saved my "". you need an MDS switcher, rewiring and certificiation for the 90B to be approach certified which brings the total to 3k and engineering costs to put the antenna in a pressurized vessel.... forgot about that one! Instead of the 430 or 530 I opted for the Echoflight which I now rely on heavily for wx. Saved about 15k in the process. Besides you need to keep the database current and that's another 400/yr. The kns80 still works, I use it now and again so I don't forget how to use it <G>.

I'd wait for a year or so as there gps mapping is still at it's infancy.
