There us no drop-in replacement for the 330, but it wouldn’t be hard to convert to a 327.
Thanks Jesse. That is what I suspected but had to ask. The 327 is shorter and would require swapping out the tray.
To those who wonder why I want a non-Mode S xpndr, I have a UAT ADS-B Out that is Anonymous mode capable, eg, doesn’t display the N-number when squawking 1200 if there is no Mode S. I would prefer not to broadcast my N when I am VFR. Call me anti-social.

There is the PIA program https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy Can get a 3rd party callsign from Foreflight.... however I'm not sure if that program is only for 1090ES or would also be appropriate for 1090 + UAT.
PIA program (what a name!) is for 1090 equipment, not UATs since most UATs already have anonymous mode.

Yep, PIA is for 1090 only, and it’s only usable in US airspace.
Also, if someone wants to track you enough, they can figure out your PIA code if they know anything about any of your itineraries. It’s not foolproof, but it helps.
