Sorry for the typo, it is a Garmin GTX-327.
I use the memory dumps from my JPI EDM-700 to record logbook time. That
instrument logs time whenever the EGT temperatures are above a certain
treshold, 800F or so. So every few months, I download the data and verify
my logbook from that.

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.
