My kt-76 went belly up last month, so my avionics shop installed a used
GTX-27 in my Skylane. They charged me around $1300 for the used
transponder
(it was in perfect condition, used only 1 year & removed for an upgrade).
And around $400 for installation. I got out of there for around $1800.

Did you mean "GTX-327"? If so, great price!

I must confess, the pushbutton transponder code entry is quite nice. Not
to
mention the mode C alt display.

We were thinking how nice it will be to have an automatic timer that starts
as soon as you flip the master switch on -- talk about making your log-book
accurate! Heck, we could record the actual MINUTES, instead of the
ridiculous "1.3 hour" nomenclature that we all inexplicably use.

Do you use the "flight-timer" to record your log-book time?

how much did you pay for it on ebay ?

$1325.00. New ones are going for $1895, installed (but, of course, I'd
have to fly to Pacific Coast Avionics to have it done for that price!).
My
shop quoted me $200 - $300 for installation, so I figure I saved a
couple
of
hundred bucks.

It comes with the tray, connectors, manuals, and a warranty, because it
was
literally in a plane only one day.
