Dave, I checked with the other owners and they want to upgrade the transceiver and flight computer before adding a transponder. One pointed out that with the current flight computer (Borgelt B100) and the old Terra radio, we can't even get an eight hour flight in without draining the TWO 12 amp hour batteries.

Much as I want the transponder (we fly from Jean, very near McCarren Intl, which is a very busy airport!) I have to admit it makes sense to get some lower draw equipment first.

Sorry,



Jim

Trig TT21 $2050







New in box







The TT21 system is the smallest, lightest, Mode S general aviation transponder. This two part system, includes an integrated altitude encoder.



A small control unit mounts in a 57 mm hole in the panel and the rest of the unit can be mounted anywhere.

I'd be heaving that Terra boat anchor as far as I could throw it. Becker and Trig have nice new radios...

Seems strange to throw out what may be one of the lower current draw devices. I'd be sticking a multimeter in there and measuring the actual current draw. When was the last time both batteries were discharge tested? High temps while charging especially can kill VRLA batteries... just thinking where you guys are located.

Sad if the sale of the transponder needs to fund a new radio.
