Hey Scott - Mike Wilson here.
 
Just curious if my idea / needs have been addressed and if a suggestion for  
inspecting / repairing 99KT?

Please check with the radio shop regarding the  antenna.
I understand that that the Garmin 330 requires a  special antenna; using a 
high quality transponder cable.
I don't think that a home-made or Archer type  transponder is going to work 
with the 330.

Hey  all- 
John and I have a  homemade ¼ wave transponder antenna mounted under the 
battery in the nose of  the aircraft (completely) inside.  When we first started 
flying we got  occasional complaints here in SoCal about losing our beacon.  
Now it  happens much more frequently and it appears to be when we are low and in 
the  “ground clutter”.  The frustrating part is the GTX 330 shows a reply  
light even when ATC says they can’t see the code.  They are getting a  primary 
but no code. 
Where have other located their  antennas and what type? 
Has anyone tried the Archer or  Advance Electronics Antennas I see in AS?
