Default Midair near Minden

I just don't buy this power argument. My panel includes 302, Ipaq,
becker transponder (with encoder)and becker radio all of which run for
at least 6 hours on a single 8.5 ah powersonic battery (exactly the same
dimensions as the typical 7 ah battery). I also carry a backup 8.5 ah
battery which I have never had to switch to.

Why in the world would you leave a transponder off if you have the
luxury of having one????


Lack of sufficient battery capacity to run it for extended periods. Not
everyone has the luxury of having two 12 ah batteries...
