I just read the Navman thread from PlaneCrazzzy, and I have had the same experience when buying ( usually not buying ) from Aircraft Spruce.



I was looking at an intercom from them, the TL-2424, listed for 430 dollars.  They changed the name just enough to make it hard to do a search on, but using just the numbers, I found the SAME intercom under a different name from another avionics shop on the web for 280 dollars.



Same deal with a K&N Fuel filter, Aircraft Spruce is selling it under the name Micron 100 fuel filter was selling it for 120 dollars.  Lockwood aviation and others sell the same filter under its real name for 49 bucks, less than half of Aircraft Spruce.



I may buy some very small stuff from Aircraft Spruce if no one eles has it,  but I dont like getting gouged    I will always research the real name of whatever I am buying and get it elsewhere.

They "are" a handy place to order from , but like you say...a little 



research could save you money....



About the "miZer"..... I might be wrong...Sounds like there "is" a 



differance with the transducer...somethin about a check valve or somethin

Oh yes , I agree !

                          I didn't say I was HAPPY about the smoke & mirrors



 If fact I think they took the check valve "OUT"....



 I won't say I have a "miZer" anymore....



 I have a "Navman 2100"....and I "TIPPED" really good...He he he



               Gotta Fly...
