N4ZQ was at 12k this morning over Portsmouth, NH when the Apollo/Garmin SL70 dropped dead. This got Boston Center's attention

since I was now just a primary target and the could not see my altitude. Anyway, the SL70 is on its way to Garmin AT in Oregon to get a new lease

on life. I'll be grounded for several weeks since I'm within the 30 mile Boston mode C veil and transponder required.



Any chance one of you have an Apollo or Garmin SL70 you might be willing to loan out till my unit is returned?
