I called Apollo (UPS, whatever) to ask if radar would be added
to the MX20, when I was trying to decide on what MFD to go with, and
they stated they would add weather display capaibilities "with a
future software release". I later read something about support for
Echoflight being added to the MX20 by years end. This would give
you real time weather via radio downlink.

There is already stormscope support for the headless WX-500
device (I didnt choose this option when I installed the MX20).
