Like I said in the now locked thread, this system is made for the VFR pilots. It is what you want. Dick Smith and the AOPA gang said so. It looks like AOPA (or one particular board member) are starting to realise the pup they have been sold.

ATC are against it
ATC associations world wide are against it
Pilot Associations are against it
regional Governments are against it
State Governments are against it
AOPA are swinging i hope to realise that their support is mislaid

The only person for it is Dick Smith and from what I understand this is all because he agreed not to run for or support a candidate in a certain seat in a certain election recently. I myself am disgusted at such a deal and he should be as well.
