Great news.
As a UK builder, I was starting to worry there for a while!
Still got plenty of glass work to do.

Subject: | My Apollo/Garmin SL70 transponder needs repair |
This is the second time in 3 years that my transponder is failing. Does any
one know a reliable repair shop=2C anywhere in N. America or Europe where I
might pay a lot less than the usual $ 450 quoted me by Apollo ? Or is a us
ed one available anywhere=2C where it was replaced by a Mode S ?
My unit comes up with TEST FAIL=2C and it seems to refer to the transmit an
d receive. It happened a couple of times in flight=2C but then came back to
normal. Now it is permanent.Any ideas out there ? Would appreciate any hi
nts.

Subject: | Re: My Apollo/Garmin SL70 transponder needs repair |
Karl, I also have a SL 40 Apollo/Garmin com. radio and SL 70
Transponder in my Europa, and when a problem with my intercom occurred I
smartly dropped it off at Garmin in Salem, OR, to be checked out, since
we were driving south on I-5 past the factory anyway and returning the
same way later. There was nothing wrong with the radio as it turned out,
but I was charged $ 450.00 anyway. I removed the instrument panel and
found a loose wire at the multi-plug at the back of the radio.
Unfortunately, after re-installing everything, the SL70 showed TEST
FAIL. Out came the instrument module again and the antenna was detached
from the SL 70. The little snap ring holding the antenna to the tray had
departed. I would look at the wiring behind the radio stack for the
problem, as I believe that the transponder is not at fault. Also, check
all the antenna connections as well. I hope, that this will lead
somewhere. Good luck, Peter
