----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Hey Bill,
Welcome to Coupe ownership. You're in for some serious flying now. I can't help on your questions much but I do know there is an STC for an alternator to replace the generator. If you add the transponder, etc, you may have to go that route, and certainly the transponder with encoder is a smart move. Check out the new units from Garmin and UPS/Apollo. Where are you located?
