Since the antenna was changed out, some things come to mind.- 1) was the
coax re-hooked back up to the new antenna?- 2) A way to troubleshoot woul
d be to put the pole antenna back on and see if they see you, if they do th
en it's the new antenna; if not then it's the xpdr or the wiring.-3) You
could have messed up the antenna coax connector when you chnged the antenna
out.- 4) Anyone near by that would be willing to let you put your xpdr i

That was kinda my thought too. If the coax is quick and easy to get to check
that first otherwise I would see if someone can bench test it just you you can
eliminate that as a possibility. If you suspect the unit, let me know and I
can send you my 327 to give a try.

You are fortunate in that there is at least one, probably two ATC
radars that should splash DVT if you are clear of the hangars, on the
north ramp. PHX has a new one at Union Hills and Central Ave, and of
course Luke's radar is pretty new and also close by. So if you power
up from external power, you should be able to test ping on the ground.
With the unit getting power, lighting up, either your antenna isn't
feeding a signal in, to trigger a reply, or the transponder output is
no good. Avionics shop may be willing to see if it works on the bench,
gratis. Infant mortality is not unheard of.

Forgive me for asking the obvious, but, you did select
ALT mode on the transponder, correct? I've seen some
people go flying without doing that (if you don't provide
some way for the transponder to auto-sense you're flying)
and then not get any altitude readout to ATC.

(1) Check to see if the transponder is showing the reply indicator on the
display. That is an indication that it is attempting to
transmit. (I had a bad cable and even though the unit was doing the
reply, it was not going out). The cable connector was faulty (My
fault!)
(2) Check the setup in the transponder as to what it is
expecting from the EFIS. You may need to check the EFIS manual for
the proper setup.

Today, I was informed by tower that
they were not receiving my
transponder, (GTX 327). Once back on the
ground, I dug out the
installation manual, and found a diagnostic
'page' on the display that
purports to display the encoder input
altitude, It displays both the
binary, as well as the decoded
altitude, In this case it was displaying
1300 ft (baro adjust
altitude at the field was 1400). To my uneducated
mind this suggests
that the encoder is providing some (perhaps
erroneous). Alltitude
info to the transponder. So. where should I look
next? I originally
had the 'pole' antenna installed, but changed it out
for the Commant
blade style, Is the antenna/coax/ connections the next
logical place
to look.
Any suggestions gladly received?

It might be a good idea to pull out your unit & slide it in another
plane to verify the unit is good. Then I'd check for continuity & no
short in the antenna cable. If that checks good, then maybe the
antenna, but it probably is something simple & obvious once you get to
checking.

Thanks to all who responded with information & suggestions. I did verify
in the air that the ALT func was selected, but no replies were being
seen in the panel. I hadn't thought of swapping, but that's a great
idea, shouldn''t be too hard to find someone to help out on that end.
Short of that, I'll have to tear out the center console and it's gadgets
in order to get into the tunnel where the antenna and cable are
mounted/routed.

I talked to Rob. He sent me an "Current" set of code (Not
yet posted). Quite a few changes (Read that as --> lots of
new additions).
The EFIS is running with the new code and I am
just now getting the AP hardware installed.
The AP control head is
logo'ed with AFS logo (Shipped from TruTrak). The AP requires the
ARINC adapter (RS-422) interface.
They are into the
Sun-N-Fun event at the moment so there are not a lot of folks in

Make sure antenna is grounded to mounting area. Might need to rough up the
aluminum on inside of cockpit if it is painted or primed, use an aluminum
plate with nut plates to accept antenna screws. The plate should ground to

Before you do all that, make sure you pull out and re-seat the radio

Thanks to all who responded with information & suggestions. I did verify
in the air that the ALT func was selected, but no replies were being
seen in the panel. I hadn't thought of swapping, but that's a great
idea, shouldn''t be too hard to find someone to help out on that end.
Short of that, I'll have to tear out the center console and it's gadgets
in order to get into the tunnel where the antenna and cable are
mounted/routed.
URGH!!!

"That bracket threw me for a loop. Some drawings show it flanges up and some show
it flanges down."
The "old style" is flanges down, bracket mounted high in the tunnel. The "new style"
is flanges up, bracket mounted about 3.5" lower. AND, the two brackets (new
and old) are not identical. Nor are the fuel valves.

Does anyone have photos of their cowl heat shield install?
I'm planning to cover the entire inside cowl area with high temp sealant... Then
apply heat shield material only on the bottom cowl.

You're going to apply WHAT to the entire inside cowl area??
Sealant?? I'm not following what this would be to accomplish,
other than add weight. It would be lighter to apply just
heat shield. The only people who have had issues that
I know of didn't have any heat shield in the required areas.
Or by sealant do you just mean some sort of light epoxy to
seal the holes?

Hey Jay,
The traveling countersink is here with me and I will be glad to send it on it's
way again.
Send me your mailing info off line. If there are others with a canopy, now is
the time to get on the mailing list. You can countersink the hard spots any time
if you are going to use Van's belts.
An update on me and our -10 project: I'm just back from two months treatment for
prostate cancer in Jacksonville, FL. so the building has been basically on
hold for the winter. I got so busy doing handyman stuff for my landlord at JAX
Beach in exchange for rent that I didn't get a chance to hook up with Jessie
-- I did drive down to Titusville to watch a shuttle launch -- WOW!
It has warmed up, I'm back, good as ever, should finish painting soon, and the
upholstery arrived this week from Abby.
It's great to be back and you guys taking flight are truly an inspiration!
Later, - Lew

It is not the official traveling countersink, but I have one at KAPA. I am not

how did you cut the hole for the fans? Circle fly cutter on a not flat piece if

| Subject: | Re: Defrost fans |
Before you permanently mount the front glare shield, you might consider
several large 5" by 7" access panels on it. They can be covered using
plates, nut plates and cap screws (for easy removal). A defrost fan can be
mount to the back of an access panel. The plate can be flat for fan
installation purposes. You will need these access panels unless you like
lying on your back with the seats removed to service avionics. I can't find
my current pictures of same but they are located one on each side in front
of pilot/copilot.

Jerry, after noodling on this, I actually think this might be the
culpret. And will be the 1st place I look. I changed out the original
'pole' antenna for a 'blade' type during the build process, and in doing
so I also installed a doubler, in looking back at the photo log it
appears that I primed the double before attaching it !?!? . I pulled the
unit and took it to an avionics shop on field today and they put it on
their tester and said it was clean, so either the encoder & connections
or antenna & connections.
Thanks to all for the help so far.

I also tried the unseat and reseat step.

I just did that today. I set the dash upside-down on a sheet of plywood on
top of two sheets of styrofoam. Then I pre-drilled the center of each hole
with a #40 bit just to get an accurate pilot hole. Then just used a 3.5
inch hole saw in my 12 volt DeWalt cordless drill. Low rpm setting on the
drill. Gentle pressure. Debur when done.

You also could disconnect the encoder, after verifying the antenna
grounding and see if it works in Mode A only. KISS. One step at a
time, get the basic unit working, then the encoder.

Interesting that Vans and Lycoming think that the market will support
a price increase in a recession. Sure hope some other vendors see this
as an opportunity to increase their business.
