Reviews
Compact, serial-interface, 10 resolution. This is my go-to encoder for all installations.
This is the only Encoder we install along with ADS-B Transponders, thank you for keeping them in-stock!!! We are also so thankful for the Chicago Warehouse, we get our orders in 1-day!!
An excellent plug and play replacement for the SSD120-120. This unit did not require any calibration after installation. The RS232 port wasn’t used but left the future upgrade option open.
Excellent quality and is very versatile. It did not require adjustment.

Yes, the Narco AT150A is compatible.
Yes, they are both encoders so the Trans-cal unit can replace the Ak-350. However, since they are from different manufacturers, the wiring will be different and it will not be plug and play. It will require a new install.
Per the manual, you will be able to give signal to both the transponder as well as the GNS 430.
Per the manual, the mounting tray does not come included in the package.
Yes, part # 11-06983 will work with the Stratus ESGI for RS232 data.
Thank you for providing this information. We will post it for other users to see.
Per the manufacturer, the new altitude encoder is backwards compatible in regard to wiring. There are also adapter plates available to accommodate the change in size and shape.
