But I'm still piddling around with the wiring and cabling. Found out today that the GRT Sport SX will control a Garmin SL30 radio and the Microair 760 will support SL30 type input/output. So, I'm working on adding the necessary wiring between the two.

Here's a decent picture of the new panel all lit up. As far as I can tell, everything works now. I still need to set up the GRT Sport SX, MicroAir 760 Radio and MicroAir T2000 Transponder.
