Everybody needs one, and within very wide limits it's hard to tell one from another. I'm going with the Dynon EFIS, and it has serial output for an altitude encoder. If I buy one that accepts serial input, I won't have to buy and maintain another piece of equipment to produce the Gray Code that most seem to want. Other than that, I have no extraordinary requirements. It'll squawk 1200 nearly always. Maybe an occasional 7500, if I have to point the nose at the beach instead of the mountains, because the wife is with me. Power is a non-issue. I live in the crowded east coast, and the annular slot antennae I built is supposed to give me 6dB of gain in the direction that ATC will be (down). What is a good choice for a cheap, minimalist transponder that accepts serial input? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message aeroelectric-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/AeroElectric-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/aeroelectric-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/aeroelectric-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
