I don't know why the FAA set it up that way originally, but it's been that way for years. Same applied to cell phones, but they're now considering changing it so people can at least text one another while in flight. What I don't get is that CGMS systems don't even operate on the same freq. as the plane equipment does.
I've worn my CGMS on a number of flights. I keep it in my pocket so there's really no way anyone is going to know. Are they seriously going to tell me that an 8 mhz (or something like that) transmitter is going to interfere with the airplane's communication? That is unbelievable and ridiculous.

Dewey, you might update your original post because the Animas software has been approved. I just called today and according to the person on the phone, they are shipping software to everyone who has purchased or upgraded to the 2020 in the order the orders for the pumps were placed.
