Hello All..

Before I go and embarass myself in person at my local
avionics shop...Is it possible to easily convert a 24v
radio to be 14v?  

Additionally, what is a reasonable price to expect to
pay for wiring harness for a 385a to a glideslope
receiver to the glideslope indicator.  I'm just
looking for something to the nearest $100 here,
nothing to specific...

Thanx in advance....

-Scott

Scott,
That can be a tough question for the older avionics.
Probably the easiest option is to buy a converter that will boost the 14v to 
the 28 v and leave the radio as is.  If you do this, be sure to pay the 
money for a good well regulated unit as the current requirements for the 
receiver and the transmitter differ by large amounts.  You could be looking 
at $500-700 for a rugged, well regulated unit.
David
