Having had to source a new 8.33 radio to replace my perfectly satisfactory radio I decided on a Trig TY96 transceiver.
On paper the installation looked quite straightforward with my old King KY97a at least being the same size as the Trig ( I have since discovered that Trig have a hand in making King equipment) It was supposed to be just a case of snipping one wire at a time and then putting on a new crimped pin to go in to a "D Sub" connector.
After several trips to the hangar and hours of fiddling around with wires that were too short to put a pin and wires breaking at the connector I had to call for help.
I rang James and Sean at Trig in Edinburgh (several times) who kindly sent me a "Pin Out" idiot proof labelled diagram based on some pictures I sent them of my previous installation.
Long story short, I now have a fully working 8.33 radio installed and am looking forwards to hours of crystal clear communication on my flights.
I couldn't have done this without this first class service which is why I feel moved to make this testimonial. (Other avionics manufacturers are available).
Thank you Trig.
