    Did you think about putting in the GTX330 and SL40 or was space a big issue?

    There really isn't room for the SL40. Had to go with a Becker because of space issues. It does, however have a GTX 33. The GTX33 is kind of a remote verson of a GTX330 that is controlled through the G3X interface. Mode S.

    Hi Pete. Must admit I do not like the Becker radio. Usable but annoying to tune
    hard to see display and lots of static. Garmin far better.
    Might be a way to squeeze the SL40 on the panel????

    Also: with new 5 amp fuse aux power plug works

    Pete,
    Is there anything Becker owners can do to improve the performance of their radios?

    I have wondered if I did not have six inches of panel space somewhere where I could squeeze a Garmin
    radio and if electrically necessary remove the Becker. As I mentioned below, it is usable but pretty lame

    Can I ask why you guys didn't just use the vertical power vpx, then you would have room for a garmin radio and transponder?

    Space was a big issue. There may have been a way to fit the Garmin radio.
    The Becker is really terrible.
    Perhaps it is possible to add a mounting bracket just under the factory panel for a Garmin Radio.
