My original transponder installation in my panel. A Narco 50A. The transponder worked fine when I bought the airplane two years ago, but it was failing and obsolete. It was not worth repairing.

Key Takeaways:
- The article details the replacement of an obsolete Narco 50A transponder and encoder with a modern Stratus ESG Transponder and Stratus 2S system in an older airplane.
- The upgrade involved installing a new rack, a higher-accuracy (25 ft.) encoder, and carefully drilling and mounting a new GPS antenna, along with routing new antenna cables.
- The new Stratus system provides enhanced functionality, including improved altitude reporting and the Stratus 2S now receiving GPS data from the newly installed antenna.
