I know the NARCO AT 150 and AT 155 are slide-in compatible with the AT 50. My question is what other manufacturers produce Transponders that are also slide-in compatible with the AT 50 to include the encoder connections? If this is not the right place to get an answer, please suggest another.

I was steered into this combination by an avionics shop as a replacement for my ancient Narco AT 50A. The adapter is listed for the '150A but they said it would work for the '50A. You'll not want to take my word for it though. You can download the installation manual to see the details for yourself at http://www.garmin.com/manuals/168_InstallationManual.pdf In the end I just decided to install the Garmin GTX 320A in my panel. However, I did have to wire up the encoder harness, power, ground, etc. and it sounds like you're trying to avoid that. In any case, I've been very happy with the Garmin transponder in the year-and-a-half I've been flying with it. I love it when I hear those magic words "radar contact" instead of "not picking up your transponder". BTW, the Narco AT 50A panel and its opening are slightly taller than the GTX 320A. I made a small blank panel to use up the space. -- Joe Long-EZ 821RP Clarkston, WA On 25-Jun-04 12:17 Quilters Confectionery wrote: > --> Avionics-List message posted by: Quilters Confectionery > > I have a NARCO AT 50 installation in my plane.

Best I found is $1550. How about getting a group price. Anyone have a good contact? Thanks, Doug Preston RV8
