-------------------------- I bought a Skyguard TWX unit a couple of years ago. It's not been without some growing pains, but once it's installed and left alone to work, all you have to do is supply power to it and it does what it's supposed to do. It has an internal WAAS III GPS and external antenna, and also queries the transponder to get the squawk code and pressure altitude to include in the UAT ADS-B out signal. It has wifi so can talk to a number of GPS units or Android/iPad/smart devices if you want to have traffic/weather etc displayed. It costs around $1500. There are a few other vendors in a similar price range (NavWorx) with various features to make them simpler to install or more compact. But if you aren't planning to replace your transponder to do Mode S, most of the basic systems that are legal ADS-B Out for Experimental aircraft fall into the $1500 and up price range. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM ------------------ I am perfectly comfortable without any electronics, although I do have a Communications radio installed as well as a mode C transponder to meet the requirements of the 30 NM veil that I live inside of, and have also flown my KR2S coast to coast. However, with 2020 approaching, I am keeping my eyes out for solution to the mandatory requirements that will allow all the other aircraft out there that want to see me depicted on their displays, without having to install expensive displays I have no desire for in my airplane. I have seen some articles and postings of equipment people have built for under a few hundred dollars themselves to meet ADS-B requirements, but they have appeared to be adding capabilities to already installed equipment and displays costing thousands of dollars. Have you stumbled across anything yet for your "completely electronics free" airplane?
