Key Takeaways:

  • The article details the replacement of an obsolete Narco 50A transponder with a new Stratus ESG transponder and Stratus 2S, upgrading the aircraft's avionics.
  • The upgrade involved installing a more accurate 25-foot encoder and a new external GPS antenna, which now feeds satellite information to the Stratus 2S.
  • The installation process included careful removal of old equipment, mounting new components, and drilling/sealing a new hole in the fuselage for the GPS antenna, ensuring proper orientation and leak-free operation.

Antenna cables

My two new antenna cables. One of the cables goes to the whip antenna located on the belly of my airplane, and the other one goes to my new GPS antenna. The cables were routed down the right side of the cabin, under the rear seat, and through the baggage area to the rear of the fuselage using existing cable routing.
