[time-nuts] LightSquared on FOX

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R]

My Cessna has a Apollo 2001 GPS receiver which was upgraded to a TSO C129
GPS Sensor around the turn of the century.  It is likely this unit, 
whose design
was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (TSO) will not 
reject strong
signals from LightSquared's proposed cell phone network.   It will take 
$10,000
to $20,000 to replace this unit with a "LightSquared resistant" unit 
which may
become available in several years.    Do you think LightSquared will cut 
me a
$20,000 check to cover the costs, not to mention downtime?
