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. Karl ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:17:25 PM PST US From: "Peter Timm" Subject: Re: Europa-List: 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 This is the second time in 3 years that my transponder is failing. Does anyone know a reliable repair shop, anywhere in N. America or Europe where I might pay a lot less than the usual $ 450 quoted me by Apollo ? Or is a used one available anywhere, where it was replaced by a Mode S ? My unit comes up with TEST FAIL, and it seems to refer to the transmit and receive. It happened a couple of times in flight, but then came back to normal. Now it is permanent. Any ideas out there ? Would appreciate any hints.
