Good job! I'm jealous!

I walked away with a really nice GTX 330 for about $2100. Given the pitiful condition of the $, that's not bad.

I got mine (Filser TRT800) for the low, low price of 1850 Euro but that was during a special offer through Lambert Aircraft in Belgium. I'm hearing from other pilots that there are lead times of several months on any brand mode-S transponder. In The Netherlands these are mandatory as of last tuesday, but apparently due to the shortage, local authorities will go easy on us until july 1st.

What brand are you looking at and from where? Cheers, Andrew. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carlos Trigo" To: aeroelectric-list@matronics.com, avionics-list@matronics.com Subject: AeroElectric-List: Transponder for sale Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2008 00:39:00 +0100 Hey listers I just listed a transponder for sale on ebay. You can see it (and place bids) here http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296-2357-0?uid=626608286&site=0 &ver=LCA080805&item=230238620596&lk=URL It is a NARCO AT-155 transponder I had purchased for my RV-9A , but decided not to install because mode S became obligatory in Europe.

Mode S is already obsolete in the USA. They are fighting for the next gen transponder (that will be even more expensive). http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/articles/2008/080304ads-b.html The fact is Mode S does not do anything more for general aviation. Even as a technology its based on OLD technology. So for the USA take a wait see attitude. I find it draconian that the Euro authorities mandated this. Well may be better than being in limbo as the USA fights. However for USA fliers hang on to your Mode C transponder it does all you need, position and altitude, probably for another 20 years or more. I love how the USA gave into METARS and WX reports with french words like "fume" in weather reports. Now they are just issuing unilateral rules, country by country. Some countries have even mandated 406 ELT's. So you don't have one you can't fly there. They will actually ground the plane and make you install one, I've been told. I fly international. Yes the future is sunny with data links and other fancy things, all mean nothing to me in my RV-7. I have 1970's technology, a tube TDR950 Collins. Actually I have two of them. I bought both off eBay, ones a spare. I think with both I have $500 into it, including antenna. That is progress! --------------------------------- You rock.
