Googling the group yielded little so here goes...
1979 172, overall average condition with mostly original radios and wiring (one RT-385 recently replaced by a TKM radio, M1 Loran from a few centuries ago) The Cessna 300 ADF has gone flaky. The box tests fine on the bench which suggests a wild goose chase may be in store to find the gremlins. One of the two ILS approaches at my home field require ADF, and a few fields I go to are ADF/GPS-only so I need one of the two. My idea is to find a good used Apollo GX-50/GX-60 unit and replace the ADF. No need to touch the Loran, it makes a good backup. I'll get legal ADF and DME capability not to mention a moving map. Trying to convince 4 other partners this is a good idea b/c it will make it easier to sell shares in the future and even if they are VFR-only the moving map is a big plus. The local flight school says they've been spending an average of $6000 to do this with their birds at the local shop. Those of you who've done this recently, any thoughts? Bet, -cwk. |
