XM Radar Question

[Way2Broke]

Are there economical handheld XM radar units avaliable? I recall seeing a guy with a PDA that had some sort of GPS/XM radar reciever on it. Does anyone have any expereince with these things? How often do they update? Can you get text weather from them? How much are they? Where do you buy them? etc etc. Thanks!

I use a garmin 396. Has the XM on it and works great. More weather info than anything else I've ever used. The only down side of this unit is that it doesn't have full IFR approaches on it. Just a line that extends from the runway. Gets the job done though.

Unbeatable. Overlays on actual approach plates, xm weather, ADI display, etc., etc., etc.
