Did you find out if the Blade under the pilots seat was for the DME or the transponder? Im assuming the blade under the co-pilot is the DME and then the one under the pilots seat is the Transponder, otherwise, the cables would cross over in the dash.

The GPS Antenna and both the cables was never in question, It was all about conflicting stories of re using the transponder antenna. After Digging deeper, the Main thing is... An M20J with original Avionics, Has BNC Connections at the antennae, therefore its not recommended to rely on a crusty BNC connector from 1981 to transmit critical Transponder data through.

Hello, I have gotten Conflicting stories Via Quotes on a GNX375 (ADSB transponder/GPS) install on an M20J, it stems around if I will have to swap output Antennas on the install. I have been told both ways. Can someone give me an educated explanation?

Hello, I recall somewhere in the archives there was a write up on how to repair the Hold open assembly. Does anyone recall this?

Thanks… that’s a tiny screw

Work gets crazy and I have to work on things in my downtime… I would have thought maybe some people with others that had factory loran would give input or post photos of where their Waas rated reciever is..

Hiya guys, and ladies .. I had planned to pull the loran then just put a gps antenna in its place… but deeper reading, I should go ahead and put new rg400 cable in… then I find out I should keep my rg400 cable length under 9ft… Are most people just replacing the loran, placing the gps in the same hole? Or, moving the gps further up to get the rg400 cable run shorter?

I’m stumped at how to remove the sun visors … any tips?

Hi, I’ve been looking at getting seats redone. As we know materials come into question, is there anyone that’s been involved with redoing seats know how much material it took to do all 4 seats ?

No, there is no existing gps in the plane or any Garmin products... the beauty of the sky beacon / tail beacon is that the A&P could sign off on the install, keeping you from having to pay for a trip to the avionics shop.. I believe the gdl - 82 is like this as well.. Replacing the transponder in the panel would most likely not prevent this .. this would I do not want to turn a $2000 problem into a $20,000 bill. I just didn’t know if there was a solution I was not aware of..

Hi, Whats the best way to get printed hard copies of the shop and parts manual?

Lets please ignore the fact that I have procrastinated too long on ADS-B. I had originally planned UAVIONIX, But it seems like Garmin has come down on the Prices and the GDL 82 is about the same in price. What has other owners experience been like? I don't want an avionics shop treating this like a cat with a ball of twine, But I would consider more is there was a good reason.

I want to plan new seats for my m20j that has two rear seats and not a bench. I was wanting to know from someone with experience, how many hides or sq feet should this job take ?

I just test ran mine and my gauges hold steady now... i reseated all the wires on the master switch, cannon plug to the regulator and the ground wire in the regulator circuit

I originally had something similar, and found a bad Diode when I took the alternator in to get tested... Fast forward two or more years later, the plane was sitting getting a new engine, At overhaul a Plane power unit was installed. The plane was fine during test flights, then parked. One of the next flights, the gauges are dancing all over, it gets worse with more load, and the ammeter looks like its vibrating its moving so fast. No I too am back to square one, I doubt my alternator is the culprit. Its cold so I have not pulled it out and test ran the engine after pulling and reseating the wires to the master switch and the cannon plug to the VR... Is there other things to look at or is my faster needle wiggle something completely different?
