New transponder mode S vs. mode C by Tom N.
Any opinions? I plan to install a new Becker transponder in my ASW-28. Should I go with the old mode C unit or pay extra for the new mode S unit? Thanks.

Dittel ATR 720 by John C
Does anyone have an English manual for this model radio? Apparently the manufacturer (Avionic Dittel - not Walter Dittel) is out of business and Tim at W&W does not happen to have one. Thanks, John
