Tim/Gerald/Ken,
Thanks for the ideas. I'm contemplating taking the Panel out next week
mainly to sort out the suppression on the radio and at the same time
hopefully mount my 295 in to the panel and sus outt why the Autopilot wont
see the GPS signal. Thanks for the ideas. I guess its fair to say there's no
good or easy way to fit a 295 other than make up a bracket fitting.
On the radio front I have a Becker 3601 with a built in intercom. There is
loads of noise on the Intercom and it needs suppressing. The daft thing is
the radio is suppressed but that doesn't suppress the noise on the
intercom??. I'm wondering if I might be better fitting a separate intercom
system which I can suppress separately. The only problem then is I'm not
sure if I can put the stand alone intercom inputs in to the radio. I'm sure
more will become apparent when I get the panel out.
Anyone know of a good panel techi here in Yorkshire? Willing to pay but I
would want the job doing fairly swiftly so I can get it back flying again
ASAP.
Regards
Kev T

Yes, I mounted my GPS Garmin 295 within the Avionics Panel. I have a
separate Avonics panel which is removable to allow for easy access to
the instruments.
To secure the GPS, I moulded a stainless steel band around the back of the
GPS connected to one of the mounting frames they give you. The
stainless steel is then connected to the separate Aluminum Avionics Panel
with a hole cut to the size of the front of the GPS plus 2 mm.
You therefore have a near flush mounting and easily removable.
I have a direct 12v connection for the power input as well as a connection
to update the GPS from my laptop by the tray of the I/F panel.
Aerial is on top of the I/F Panel.
Cheers,
Tim
