337 to install a transponder?

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.

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?

$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.

I am not sure what I paid for mine installed, I know he had to test it and the
transponder check was part of the install.

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...)

My kt-76 went belly up last month, so my avionics shop installed a used
GTX-27 in my Skylane. They charged me around $1300 for the used transponder
(it was in perfect condition, used only 1 year & removed for an upgrade).
And around $400 for installation. I got out of there for around $1800.

No 337 form, just a logbook entry.

I must confess, the pushbutton transponder code entry is quite nice. Not to
mention the mode C alt display.

Did you mean "GTX-327"? If so, great price!

We were thinking how nice it will be to have an automatic timer that starts
as soon as you flip the master switch on -- talk about making your log-book
accurate! Heck, we could record the actual MINUTES, instead of the
ridiculous "1.3 hour" nomenclature that we all inexplicably use.

Do you use the "flight-timer" to record your log-book time?

Sorry for the typo, it is a Garmin GTX-327.

I use the memory dumps from my JPI EDM-700 to record logbook time. That
instrument logs time whenever the EGT temperatures are above a certain
treshold, 800F or so. So every few months, I download the data and verify
my logbook from that.
