I've found having a Garmin GTX 345 with the Aera to be an excellent combo. When pushed low underneath clouds on the way to Osh last year I noticed my 345 was not getting a very reliable signal with ground stations. Thunderstorms were in the path a ways off but the WX updates weren't happening.

Is this where SXM will be a good option? Seems to be the case since the signal is from satellites as opposed to ground stations. I'd like to hear from someone about their experiences with SXM to see if this might be right for me.

Thanks again.
Hello Charlie,

I have had the exact same experience as you. As long as I am cruising up high I typically receive ADS-B FIS-B weather data from lots of ground stations (sometimes over 100 nm away), but on a flight under a low ceiling, I was not having much luck getting line-of-sight to ground stations, and was not receiving FIS-B weather at a time when I needed it the most.

I have the GDL 52R installed in my homebuilt now with both types of weather and traffic (and music) delivered to both my Aera 660 and G3X Touch system, and that is an unbeatable combination for cross country traveling under all conditions.



Thanks,
Steve
