how much did you pay for it on ebay ?
I had bid ona few of them awhile back but when they got close to the price of a new one I stopped. I finally had mine installed with the rest of my avionics at one time. Jay Honeck wrote: So you send the 337 to the FSDO for approval before installation, when the approval comes back you install the transponder. The seller is shipping the unit today, but (of course) we're coming up on Xmas and New Years, and the avionics shop is in Illinois, so it'll probably be at least a week before I could get the installation done anyway. How long does getting the 337 usually take? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

The back of the 337 is an unreadable mess only a government agency could come up with.
Uh, you mean the two-sentence notice about W&B and compatibility with other alterations ? That seems pretty straightforward to me. Any other "mess" on the back side of a 337 would have to be the IA's handiwork... |

$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" |

The entire backside, and it is full of text, was all part of what the FSDO wanted to see. So we put it on there. |

part number: 11-00329 GARMIN GTX-327 W HARNESS $1434.000 That's $1505.70 with tax, plus shipping. My $1325 price was all-inclusive, for what amounts to a brand-new unit... (One day old...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Although transponders are kind of boring as far as boxes go, the GTX 327 is
a fine unit. I had one for nearly two years before trading up to a GTX 330. The pressure altitude readout along with the flight timers are nice features, as is the digital input of codes and the single button push for 1200 or 7700. The nice thing about the GTX 330 is the traffic readout, which is both a blessing and scary as well, since I now realize how much traffic is out there that I never saw before! Enjoy the new box. |

The 337s were easy. Documenting appropriate disposition of 87+ "discrepancies" that a previous scumbucket IA wrote up actually took more pages than the six 337s. btw - I thought what makes airplanes fly is lotsa of money. -- Bob Noel |
