I am new to this area and am considering purchasing my first plane and came across this website - lotsa good information here.
My question is this - a friend of mine had a panel mount 396 (the adapter) and someone had it connected to and older IFR gps - the autopilot seemed to be tracking the 396??? Is this possible...if so what kind of older IFR GPS units can be synced with the 396/496/696.
The plane I am looking at has an old apollo either GX50 or 55 GPS connected to the autopilot - I'd like to get the a 396 etc and hook it to the older apollo - is that possible?
Thanks in advance
