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 $1800. No 337 form, just a logbook entry. I must confess, the pushbutton transponder code entry is quite nice. Not to mention the mode C alt display. Guy Byars "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:fFDEb.602919$Fm2.546931@attbi_s04... 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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Guy Byars "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:fFDEb.602919$Fm2.546931@attbi_s04... how much did you pay for it on ebay ? $1325.00.

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. Guy Byars "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:r_7Fb.616166$Fm2.555826@attbi_s04...
