Altimeter Question
      
      I'm considering replacing the standard, 3-pointer altimeter in my
      single-engine aircraft with a counter-pointer type.  The candidates are an
      AeroMech 8141B, an ARC EA-801, and an ARC EA-401.  Does anybody know these
      altimeters and/or have any advice on making this change?  Since all three
      counter-pointer altimeters are the encoding type, I would have to remove my
      Transcal SSD-120-30K encoder.  Is that a wise move?  Does anybody have the
      pin-outs for the cannon-plug on the backs of these altimeters?
      
      Thanks in advance,
      
      Don

Re: Altimeter Question
      
      Encoding altimeters are VERY EXPENSIVE to maintain as a 
      altimeter/encoder system. It is much cheaper in the long run to keep 
      these separate.  Call up Kelley Instruments  and ask how much an 
      overhual is on one of those units... you can buy alot of regular 
      altimeters and encoders for the price of 1 encoding altimeter overhaul.  
      That Trans cal ssd-120 should last a long life for you.
      
      As an avionics tech and installer, I emplore you to keep your 3 pointer 
      system with separate encoder.  Save yourself the heartache of failed 
      pitot static inspections and costly overhaul bills down the road.
