Default $1300 transponders?

Small transponders now are about $1300 plus antenna and installation. It can
be done.


That's a great price! Where do you get these? What brand? The ones I
know about (Becker, Microair) are $1900 plus $200 for the encoder.

Thanx Eric.. it's been a while since I checked.. I remember 13 but that may
have been the crappy Becker Radio.
Had two.. both went back for repairs.. and I know at least one Becker
Transponder had to go back too.
