I am listing on Ebay a KT-76A xponder. This unit belongs to a friend on our field. I offered to sell it for him since he is not into Ebaying. Unit worked fine when removed.
Not sure of unit's age. It does have some usual comestic wear and tear, but otherwise is fine. It has had 2 knobs/shafts replaced that were stiff so they look newer. Everything seems to work fine.
These seem to be going for $700-850 on Ebay in about the same condition or just 'working when removed'.....I will assure it will not be DOA.
Let me know if you are interested...
It has the tray included and a connector with cut off wires...

George, Did you know you as an owner cannot legally change a transponder and have to comply with a data correspondance when you change your older transponder?

George,
"I swapped it out for the one in our club 150 and test flew it tonight"
Then Am I missing something?
Just the fact that you slide out your xponder and slide a different one in, (which is not something an owner can do) legally grounds the airplane until a data correspondence check is done.
This is a gotcha. An owner/operator can remove and install front panel mounted radios as per FAR's with the exception of the transponder.
Sorry, that was part of the process. Being done today or tomorrow. We have the person to do that. I just did not want to get into all the details. Trying to keep it a simple explanation. Did not realize how it sounded....This is such a stupid regulatory industry as it is. I know of folks right now getting out of aviation just over all the regulatory BS.....

Not stupid rules at all. I see pilots put the transponder in and not seat it correctly. Then ATC complains about no Mode C, or weak transmit. That is why a data correspondence check is required anytime the transponder is pulled.
The best example is when a local guy re-did his panel plastic, put in his transponder, didn't get it checked, and blasted off into low IMC without it functioning. You really don't want to fly around Boston without a transponder. Lots of airplanes get moved out of your way, and you have to answer for it. Huge deal, certificate action, very ugly. Transponder test- $90, FAA enforcement action, $1500, lawyer's fees, $2500. If he started with the $90 he'd have been $4000 ahead of the game.
I had to hold for twenty minutes while they worked him as a no-transponder target and got him away from the area. Cost me $30 extra in gas!
