If you have on-board radar, the Avidyne 740 will show both stormscope
and radar overlayed, so that you show both electrical discharges and
precipitation
return sensors at the same time, without additional panel space (same size
as
original radar display). I hope that UPS will add similar functionality to
their
future products, but the MX20 has no radar interfaces.
