Transponder replacement suggestions
Hey all... just got official confirmation that my KT76's power output is way
low.... classic sign of weak/dying/dead cavity tube. Just looking for suggestions on what might be a good, cost-effective replacement. I'm tired of futzing with transponders so I'm pretty sure I want a solid-state replacement. I just had a thought too (for any avionics techs reading)... perhaps the lack of DME suppression lead to the premature demise of the KT76? I was going to wire it up when I installed the DME, but the KT76 doesn't have that capability. Maybe the DME cooked it? -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** *********************** |
