My Garmin SL40 Comm Radio died. I can send it in for repair, which according to the avionics shop will be about $850 or I could get the new model, GTR 200.
The GTR 200 is attractive for a few reasons, but the biggest drawback is the amount of work to install.
Will the GTR tray fit in the same install slot as the SL40 tray, or is it bigger? I don't mind the wiring, but the thought of having to cut into my panel is a bit horrifying.
Can I use the same coax for antenna?
According to the manuals it looks to be a five one hundreths of an inch taller.
If you converted, how did the install go?
Thanks,
