I have a good pair of KX 155's(12 volt) I will be pulling out of the Margwagon. Also 2 VOR heads, 1 with glide slope. All this will be for sale if anyone is interested. Like to sell it as a complete package, but if there isn't much interest I will separate. I'm thinkin around $6000.00 for everything, but am open to offers.
I will be replacing them with Garmin sl40's or the newer replacement TR225, but really am hoping to find a pair of sl40's..
If anyone has or knows of some sl40's I'd appreciate hearin about them.
Thanks Gary

Gary,
I've got a nice set of SL40s that come free with the Bird dog.
Just curious, I like the SL40s too, but the GTR225 ad claims that 'A handy comm monitor function essentially provides the utility of two receivers in one - allowing you to listen, for example, to ATIS or monitor other freqs without leaving the active freq.'
If that's the case, then it seems like a pretty good alternative. Or am I missing something here?
Thanks,

I just installed an Apollo CNX80 in my Skywagon, and the ability to monitor the standby frequency while the active is silent is an excellent feature! I use it multiple times per flight. I have a second COM, but no need to use it unless I have a primary COM failure.

Any dates yet for caveman 2014 ?????

Maybe I am missing something too??? The sl40 lets you monitor the standby, I think the same as the GTR. The GTR has some newer/added features, but, the sl40 has enough for me, an would probly be $12-1600 cheaper for me in the end. I had the sl40 and a XL300 in my 180 and was very happy with that. But, starting over again, this time I will be running the 796 and 2 comms that let me monitor the standby freq's.
Maybe overkill, we will see. But I like to know as much as I can about what is goin on around me. Typically I have 122.9, 122.8 and 122.75 on.
Busier place, I can set up early w/ Atis, tower an ground, and if I am flyin with someone I have an extra freq. for them. The sl40 is not quite as tall as the GTR also, and my panel is pretty small.
I told afriend about your Bird Dog, that should be a heck of a performer. I'm guessin that dog WILL hunt

LJ I just sent an email to Rod to see how he wants to handle the flyin this year, theme, and dates. He is up in Vegas trappin. Haven't heard back from him yet. When I hear, I will post it.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Maybe you can talk him out of the radios!

Gary,

I've got an SL40 in the new ship and Id like to replace it with a KX155 w/GS. Perhaps we can work out a deal? Whats your time frame? I've got an appointment at the avionics shop in March-

I'd like to be done in a couple months. I am just starting to figure my panel. Got the GPS today, so playin with that. Like to get that temporarily mounted this weekend. Then start on a new rack for the radios. I am shopping for radios, so once I get them I can plan on removing these and getting the new ones installed. We have a shop not to far away, and hopefully he could get me in with a weeks notice,
Gary

I'd just like to say that I like the name Margwagon! That's perfect.

Hey Gary,

I might be interested in a KX-155 w/GS. If you don't sell it to 62leemer, let me know.

Really looking forward to caveman. Hold our room again? Thx!

OK Cory
If I have anything to say about the room, it's yours too.
Gary

I still have 1 KX155 to sell ($1200.00)
and a KI203(no glideslope) ($500.00)to sell.
And still looking for a good Garmin sl40
Gary

Gary,

What's the KT 203? I'm not familiar with it.

Frank

It's the seniors version of the KI203, bigger print
Just a typo. Thanks
Gary

Just dropped the plane off to get the new radios wired up. So my second KX155 and KI203 are available for sale if anyone is interested. Radio and head work fine.
Gary

The SL30 and SL40s are nice radios, and I like them. If i didn't have to re-wire the entire plane to install one I would put it in.
