For lack of a better place to post this...
For those that know the ins and outs of avionics, I have a good question. Last week I posted a question about my GTX 327 to Matronics, as the transponder wouldn?t slide completely into the tray and lock. The lower edge of the tray was in contact with the aft lower face of the unit. Along the back lower face of the bezel, there appears to be two slots where the tray tongs would slide in. That?s fine and that?s what it looks like in the GTX 327 install manual.
The manual calls out Garmin p/n 115-00285-00 as referenced in the install manual (figure B2). The problem is that I have p/n 115-00431-00 (as stamped on the tray) and doesn?t look like the referenced illustration. Are these trays supposed to be interchangable? I did find a reference to that p/n on the web through Avionics Now which indicated that the 004341 unit was good for 320A/ 327, but even the tray they show does not look like what I have.
This link http://adap.com/rv7/images/P3110032.JPG (lower right in the pic) shows the bottom of my tray and seems to be a bit different than the install manual.
Thanks,
Jim
