Count me in. I'd love upgraded software even though I've already installed a GTX345R the “hard” way. Hardware upgrade path to NXi would be awesome too if the price is right.

Very good Jeremy and congratulations on your new GTX345R!

BTW, two years ago when I had the exact same transponder installed, my avionics shop told me how much easier the installation process would have gone if ONLY the software was even slightly more current: as lowly version 9.05 greatly complicated matters, even for a very talented technician. So avionics shops must have to pass this additional cost along to the customer.

Thumbs up on your Nxi comments!

From this end it appears the upload test was successful as the data has been re-organized and additional fields have been added. Not sure if we need all of them or if more should be added, but can always delete a column or two at a later date.

Our flight school has 3 aircraft that we would like to upgrade.

N704AB Da42 Cd135 engines KAP140
N412PJ Da40 Lycomimg with KAP 140
N660PS Da40 Lycomimg with KAP 140

I also know of at least one more legacy DA40 on the field that would likely be interested. I will check with owner and see if he wants to join the list.

Suggestion: make this google drive/sheets file (with possibility to view over link). Then share the link only.

That way you don't have to add/post a new version each time someone signs up.

It should be quick task to do :)
