| Subject: | Re: TCAS ground plane |
Nice write up... You are brave to cut into the cabin top. Isn't that a structural
change?
I googled GTS800...
"Feature-rich yet affordably priced, the Garmin GTS 800 system is designed to bring
full TAS traffic surveillance capability well within reach of most GA..."
Almost $9000 for a GTS800. Really? Are there other alternatives out there? I'm
assuming that this is the sort of box the FAA will eventually require all of us
to swallow.
Thanks,
Jay

I just made a hole for the coax and mounting screws. If anything all the new glass
I put down on it made it stronger.
with NextGen the GTS800 won't be required but ads-b capability might be. I think
it is around 2020??? There are cheaper options I'm sure like the Navworx stuff.
Since I wanted real active interrogated TAS I went with the GTS800. The
ads-b portion was just a bonus and since it received ads-b I thought I would
get the GTX330(es) to send the ads-b out and get the entire loop.

I bought the A20's for my plane. I used them with Scott and compared them to his
x's in his plane. We both could tell quite a difference. Scott has A20's
now. I believe the ANR portion gets "broke in" and over a 5-7 years they start
fading. Maybe Scott's X's were just as good or close when they were new. On
the citation I replaced our old telex ANR 850's for new ones because the material
was coming apart. I couldn't believe how different the new 850's sound
and how loud they were. I had to turn the intercoms and radios way down from
the previous settings.

| Subject: | Baja Trip Write-Up |
I finally got to sit down and finish the Baja Trip write-up.
I included some other stuff that some people may find interesting
and others might not. Before the trip I got a new Camera lens
that worked out great for traveling. It was also the first
big trip with WingX's latest update, and Foreflight Pro HD,
and all sorts of new things that I've gathered over the winter
months. For a while there I was feeling pretty broke. Good thing
it's spring and I won't be as close to my keyboard where I can
do online shopping. ;)

| Subject: | Re: Ack E-04 shipping |
Today I got my new Ack E-04 406mhz ELT. I haven't done any
of the install yet, but it looks like it'll be a breeze.
I have to buy a 4-pin RJ-11 coupler I think, because if I
remember right, my current phone-wire type ELT control cable
is male on both ends, and the ACK uses a M/F type. So
unless I wanted to run a whole new cable, I'll have to use
a coupler to join them. It appears that everything will just
plug in though and work. I have GPS in the tailcone
already for my APRS, so I plan to use that GPS for now
to feed the ELT. The only downside is that my APRS GPS
doesn't include altitude, only lat/long and the other variables,
but I'd assume if you know my exact Lat/Long, you can still
find me within about the distance I can jump.
I was greatly surprised to see that at least from memory,
it seems much smaller and lighter than my AmeriKing that's
in there currently.
I hope to install it this weekend, and if I do, I'll take some
comparison photos. Neat stuff!

Thx Tim. I'll wait till OSH. I know comfort is the most important. And I did
try some on at Sun N' Fun and they felt good, but you never know for sure until
you fly with them for an hour or more.

> Dave, if you've flown with the old and find them completely comfortable and quiet,
the A20's will just be a step up in both but I can't say it's a huge step
up or anything. It's a noticeable difference in quiet, but truthfully the old
X's were plenty quiet. You should really just fly with both or at least the
one you want to buy first, because fit and comfort is of utmost importance.
The biggest difference for me personally is that the A20 ear cups are a bit larger,
so my ears flop in comfortably easier. If you use the X's and find no
fit issue at all, then you probably would like either. If you plan to get 4,
you could do a mix for front and back seats and you're unlikely to have people
complain.

much better is a top of the line Ferrari over a top of the line Porsche?". Either
one will make most drivers happy.

a20 to standard jacks with an adapter....so if that interests you, I'd go A20.
The biggest downside is that my X's I could leave powered on all the time and
they'd stay on. The A20's I have to hit the power button to turn on every flight.

Do you get FIS-B (ads-b wx) on anything too, or are you getting XM only?
