The TBX will accept Apollo in/out on RS232.

Can the IFD control it, like it can control the AXP322 and Lynx 9000R?

If not, is it on the development list?

Being in Canada, I may be forced to dump my otherwise wonderfully working AXP322 because it doesn't support a diversity antenna setup.

The only way that would work is if the TBX has the same interface as the 322 or NGT. Pretty unlikely. I'll try to get an ICD for the TBX and see how close it is. It's not on the development list already, but if it's close we may be able to swing it.

Outstanding! Thanks much.
