Transponder replacement suggestions
"skym" wrote in message ups.com... I'll admit to some lack of knowledge here but, other than the Mode S ability of the Garmin 330, aren't xpdrs pretty much just a one trick pony? I.e., they just receive a radar signal and reply. Why would a Garmin 327 be any better than any other? No cavity tube for one. Push button entry, VFR button, solid state electronics...

Transponder replacement suggestions
Good points, but do they even make them with cavity tubes or without
solid state electronics anymore? Also, at what price to push "VFR" vs push/dial in 1200?

Don't know...but that's a point when considering it as a replacement BEFORE the old unit fails. Also, at what price to push "VFR" vs push/dial in 1200? By itself, nothing. It's ironic, though, how such a simple, cheap to implement feature gets left out on other products.

Narco AT155 and AT165 are also solid state and have the push to squawk VFR feature, as well as some timers. IIRC, the cost is quite a bit less than the Garmin, and you can put it in your old tray.
