 |

Hi there Folks
I am about to begin the installation of the Transponder (GTX-330) and the Comm Radio (SL-30) in my RV-9A’s panel, and I wonder if there is any rule of thumb about their position in the central rack.
In panels that I have seen, the Xpdr is usually at the bottom position, with the Radio immediately above.
Which are the pros and cons of putting those 2 avionics at the bottom of the rack, and the Xpdr below or above the Radio?

From the ergonomics point of view, you would position things by how much you have to use them. Since you "use" a transponder less than a com radio, the com would get preference in the battle of the easiest reach.

In my case, Beckers on the left edge of an RV-8 panel, ergonomics were
equal. However, the transponder consumes a lot more power than the coms
do, so I put it at the top of the stack. Given that heat is the greatest
enemy of our electronics, this should allow my coms to run somewhat cooler.
FWIW-
