Hi guys,
I am planning a trip in my PA28-180 from LA-New Orleans for work in the next 3 weeks. I have been meeting with my avionics guy about possible upgrades when I return this summer. Seeing right now that I don't have a lot of time and/or money, I was wondering what you guys think would be the most important item to upgrade on my list and the least expensive in parts/labor at the moment. If the timing is right, my avionics guy might be able to squeeze it out. Here is my list:
-Transponder upgrade to a GTX345 (from old Bendix-King)
-GTN650 with a GI106 (to replace my ancient MK radio stack)
-GNC255 Nav/Com with GI102 (to replace nav/com2 KX170)
-Audio panel upgrade, possibly Garmin or PS to replace my ancient one.
Let me know what you guys think.
