The GRT 2000 from what source Guy? The Grand Rapids website charges $373
and states "EIS only, no probes". The ACS website charges $476.95 and states
"Systems include probes and pre-wired cables" It goes on to state what kind
of CHT and EGT probes come as standard and that threaded senders are
available at additional cost, but nothing about other sensors required to
make it work. Although the price difference is the price of 2 CHT and 2 EGT
probes on the GRT site...
"2-stroke models provide tach, dual EGT, dual CHT, fluid temperature,
auxiliary input, hourmeter, flight timer, voltmeter and outside air
temperature" - tach, fluid temperature, and outside air temp are not much
use without sensors!
I have an email in to ACS asking specifics, and will call tomorrow if they
don't respond right away.

"Note also that you only get CHT and EGT sensors with the GRT. You'll have
to at least add water temp, plus any other functions you want. (See

I realized this was confusing. The GRT 2000 package only comes with CHT and
EGT sensors, though the box is capable of a lot more. You have to add any
other sensors to the cost.
