My static line components came in the mail today and I completed the installation of the encoder. Happy to say the 14 or so wires I soldered together, the ground and power wires, the static line hoses, the antenna and coax, all worked to perfection. I now have a transponder and encoder !!!! I was 180 miles north of Memphis, Tennessee and they had me on radar and the mode C was reporting my altitude to within 150 feet of the altimeter and dual GPS receivers on board and my little hand held radio with external antenna was loud and clear. I can't wait to actually use it now for flight following or flying in to airspace where transponder is required. YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAA................
It was also working with a G1000 collision avoidance system installed in a Cirrus flying in the pattern. Larry Flesner
