Jeff, Thanks for the info. $1500 is getting to look a lot more reasonable. That would still make it the most expensive piece of equipment on the airplane, but not as bad as I had thought, considering most of the articles I had read were advertising costs reaching to more than a third of what the airplane cost. And then there will be the cost of installation on top of that, since I am not a builder. Unless of course there is a portable unit out there that can just be stuck to the front of the panel or something like that. Todd Thelin Spanaway, WA In a message dated 3/26/2017 7:07:21 A.M.

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 ------------------ _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
