Hi Pete
I have fitted both the OLED transceiver and the mode S units in my previous
build
G-TORO and now fitting them into my recently bought Europa G-CFKZ. IMHO they
are fantastic units and if installed properly with good antennae will prove
to be great additions to your plane. The built in intercom is brilliant and
coupled
with good headsets beats anything else hands down.
The frequency dual watch facility on the Radio is brilliant. The transponder is
also ADS-B ready so supplying a GPS feed and you then visible to any aircraft
with TCAS and a further help to ATC units whom don't have secondary radar.
If you are a dab hand at electrics i would suggest doing the connector yourself
and avoid the pre-made Loom available. I say this purely due to the loom
available,
(well the one supplied by LX Avionics) is rather heavy and you can buy
a plastic connector housing for the Radio from Maplins which is lighter than the
one supplied with the radio.
Call Mike Pettican from LX Avionics and he will sort a good deal for you.
Usually
they have units in stock and if you local to the South Northants area you can
collect.
If you need any further info, don't hesitate to ask.
Regards
Bryan
