This posted on the 701 list also but I could get good information here too.
I’ve visited this subject before but still have not purchased a Transponder yet. Now it's holding me up and I need to finish my Panel. I have no panel space for the standard length instruments (6.0 x 2..0 approx), so I'm looking at getting a Becker because of it’s square shape (2.4 x 2.4).
My main concern would be hooking it to my Dynon for altitude encoding. Dynon assures me that the worst case would be that I need their altitude encoder converter, not too expensive.
So
1. I'm looking for any comments on Becker units, good or bad.
2. Anyone have a Dynon/becker combo.
3. Any comments on S mode requirements. They will be mandatory as I understand it in 2009 or 2010. The A and C mode Becker is about $1800 and the S mode is about $2400.
I'm not concerned about the price. I'm ready to bite the bullet on that. I just wanna get this thing finished and Fly.
Thanks Guys ….Geoff

That's better than the Garmin price: the GTX327 is about $2000, the GTX330
is about $4500. Are you in Europe? I'm not aware of any move toward
mandatory mode S outside of there. I went ahead and put a GTX330 in my
airplane, but that was more for the traffic display on the GNS430W than
anything else.

you can pick up on ebay in Europe Becker transponder for about 200 to 300 usd cause they are getting obsolete due to the change to mode S
