Is anyone in the USA using the Garrecht Mode S transponder? If so, how
is it working out, and do you have an operating current consumption

Eric,

The Garrecht Transponders are not yet certified for use in the United

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm updating my "Transponders in Sailplanes"
article, and want to include the newest equipment. The VT-01 looks very
interesting. Any idea of when/if they will be certified?
