Brief Description:  Pluggable DB Connectors SL30 & GTS327 - Part 1

It occurred to me this week that the sliding radio tray arrangement for the Garmin SL-30 Nav/Com and the Garmin GTX-327 Mode C Transponder would allow the radios to be removed from the tray, but that the instrument panel couldn't be removed from the plane because of the hard wiring to the sliding trays. That just wouldn't do, so I concocted a scheme where by I soldered two DB connectors back to back with the rear connector having attached nuts for connecting a third DB connector that would be wired into the harness. While there was a bit of cussing involved in getting all the little screws back in the right places, I'm happy to report that the scheme seems to be going to work out nicely.
