Hi Everyone,



First time post here, so please be gentle !



I have recently taken over the build of a Tri-Gear XS, and I understand that I will need to change the Radio, and Transponder before I can get a  UK PTF.



I have a MX 125 TSO Radio and Garmin 327 Transponder, both new and unused. Also a Garmin 340 audio panel which I will probably remove (as I think its a bit overkill)



Would there be a market for these in the USA ?



Although most of the panel is complete, I am thinking of starting over on the electrics (as they appear over-complicated) , and building a new glass panel (thinking a 10" Dynon at present), so any comments/experiences would be welcome

Hi Bob, I am at a similar stage and soon to fix my instrumentation kit out.  did have a GTX328 and found someone in the UK who wanted it, and also found someone in the US to buy my Garmin SL40 radio



I don't know anything about your radio but the Garmin 327 should be good for mode S and for ADS-B out - if you can get it tweaked by Garmin and supply it with an NMEA GPS feed.  



I will fit a TRIG TY91 Xponder and an TT21 Radio and dump my steam instruments to go to an iPad Mini4 wi-fi'ed to an iLevil to provide AHRS as well as Engine condition data via a GRT EIS 4000.



Hope it helps



Clive.

Hi Clive,



Thanks for your response. I don't think it is possible to get the 327 upgraded, at least I've not been able to find this option via Google.



The Trig TY91 Radio, and TT21 Transponder do appear attractive, with the small footprint, and I will certainly be considering these for my new Panel.



I would be interested to know how you sold your 'old' kit (i.e. was it just e-bay), and an idea of the price you got, so I have a guide price. PM me if you prefer.



Best Regards

Hi Bob, I suggest to use eBay to find prices others are selling for and then advertise using AFORS. Clive

Hi Bob, there's a link here about converting a GTX327 to a 330ES to enable it for extended squitter (ADS-B out).  Not cheap - so maybe selling it (in Europe - the Americans probably won't want it as ADS-B is soon to be mandated there) and getting an alternative like the Trig unit would seem to be the best option.  It won't surprise me if Garmin withdraw the upgrade to make people buy their new Xpdrs anyway . . .
