I had Jim at www.skycomavionics.com in Wisconsin look at one of the two KX-125 radios I have in my plane last Summer. One an an intermittent problem with the LCD screen going blank and later reappearing during flight and the internal switch that lets you toggle between tuning the VOR station...

I bought a plane last November, got the registration in my name as of this morning on FAA website. Almost exactly four months. I applied for an extension a little over a month ago and got email back next day with temporarily paperwork I printed and put in my plane. I'm just happy it went...

I had exact same problem in a Cherokee I just bought with an old King KN24 audio panel and two KX-170b radios I brought home just before Christmas. First two times I flew it to buy it and later for insurance checkout the radios both transmitted out, but I found the side tone weak in my headset...

I replaced a KMA24 with separate intercom that had been malfunctioning a year and a half ago in my PA28-140. Mine was a used stereo unit, a PMA7000M*S that is no longer made, but the process would be the same. The main harness for the radio interface is pretty much untouched except for a...

Excuse me if I my message used the phrase 'WAAS Radio' instead of 'WAAS GPS Navigation System'. Even though technically the unit, a Garmin 430W I was referencing is a Radio with GPS WAAS navigation system. You already trolled Barry on what he said about how ADSB was a great increase to...

I put a Garmin GPS 175 and CDI indicator in my PA28-140 last Fall to complete IFR training hopefully by years end. I had two radios, one with GS/VOR capabilities and other with VOR/localizer. They just couldn't cut it for training after renting a school's 430W and seeing how much more a WAAS...

I installed a GPS-175, not with a shop, bought self purchased and installed with sign off/assistance of IA/A&P and no coupon was included. Called Garmin a few months later in Spring when starting IFR training and they gave me a one time upgrade for free over phone. Even if you don't go...

I've had both my Air speed indicator overhauled by AQI eight years ago when I bought my plane and realized it was off 15 knot once over stall speed as well as an old Vertical Speed Indicator that the paint was falling off the needle and background faded to 'new' condition last year the week...

cappy48, Thanks for the offer, I'll probably shoot you an email and take you up on it. I actually called BK last week to ask a question about the STC availability since they purchased TT and they quickly answered phone and answered question, so customer service is about as good as I've found...

If it is the Trio you are looking at, the Garmin 175, as well as the newer 355 and 375 are listed. Look at the compatibility list on the Literature section. https://www.trioavionics.com/literature.htm I installed a Garmin 175 in my Cherokee 140 last Fall. After starting IFR training last...

If you go the the STC groups wepage and go to "Order Complete System" for the Trio system the cost of the complete package is listed as $5595 Shipped. Below that is the following list of included components. Whats included? Trio Pro Pilot Control Head, 2 Servos, complete wire harness, 2...

For the best bang for your buck and the fact you have used a 430 before and it's your comfort zone, you can stay within budget (or close to it) with what you have listed. You will need a CDI with both vertical/horizontal needles. I had such out of date avionics last year in my '64 PA28-140...

This is great to know. I purchased and installed a GPS 175 WAAS back around October and had expired databases. I just called like NorticDave stated and I've now got a full set of databases on my account I can install now. Thanks for the tip, it will help push out the $300 subscription fee I...

Go here to validate test. I've done about every other month to make sure my Garmin 327/Skybeacon combo has worked since this Spring after doing some maintenance to plane each time. https://adsbperformance.faa.gov/paprrequest.aspx

Thanks! I had some time run out to setup the bluetooth connection and quickly figured out how to upload the flight plans. I didn't have to pull out of hanger to lock on a GPS signal, but according to Pilots guide I should be able to get GPS data and AHRS data fed to Foreflight. I can get...

BrianM, I've only been able to take 3 total flights in mine and was in a hurry to get back and forth so no time to play with the unit much. Are you using the built in Bluetooth for the Foreflight flight plane transfers, or are you required to have a Flightstream 510 card? I've read the manual...

Garmin GI-106B. Got off ebay for about $1500 plus tax. Paid a little more than I could have got a King or older Garmin GI-106A, but the one I bought had only been in service for one year before pulled for upgrade and is basically new. Wish I had the funds for a G5 HSI, but that would have...

I just installed a new Garmin GPS 175 in a Cherokee in the last few weeks as an assisted IA installation to save some money. (Little brother of the GNX 375 with no transponder and ADSB-in functions) While it was a lot of work as the entire interior had to be pulled to install the GPS antenna...

Congratulations on the plane! I'm located just east of Louisville off a grass strip, work and fly my plane into Madison, IN quite a bit and into Bowman field a lot. I can't say I recommend anyone as most of my A&P/IA connections are over in Lexington direction, but listening in for any local...

My PA28-140 with O-320 was last overhauled in 1982, just turned 1000 hrs a couple of weeks ago. It had about 800 hrs on it time I bought seven years ago. Log book shows some years it was flown 40-60 hours, some years just 2-4. The previous owner had flown it 20 or more hours per year for the...
