Coupe-Group, Becker also makes a very nice line of GA avionics, including a transponder. I have a friend who has a Becker radio in his glider. He's the type of person who researches any given question to death, and then buys the very best. He loves the Becker radio. They also make remote mount versions of the avionics which would be ideal for the shallow instrument panel of the coupe. The down side is that Becker equipment is fairly expensive. They have a web site on the internet if you're interested. Dave N93971 "LOUIS G.
