Which Transponder? by Ian Forbes
Hi All I am contemplating getting a transponder for our LS3a. It seems the choice is between either a 175W or 250W Becker "ATC 4401" unit or the Microair "T2000". Has anybody had first hand experience with any of the above? What were your experiences, which unit would you recommend?
