You're right about that of course - after all you've been through with your units, in addition to those who were counting on Navworx to be approved, I think it's not wise to count on anything just yet. Low cost solutions like these uAvionix products are still evolving and the FAA is still in process of deciding what is portable and what is not portable and for which category of aircraft, etc. It's still very much in flux - except for those who have put as much effort into their systems as you have and/or those who just bit the bullet and bought a Lynx or Garmin all-in-one $3500 solution. I really like my KT-76A with ACK-30 encoder. It always passes its 24 month checks and is paid for and works extremely well. I've often checked with ATC to see if my encoder is matching the altitude I think I'm at . . . especially when there's weather around, and it always does. ACK will re-calibrate their encoders for free and Sparky and I sent ours in just to get the latest firmware installed several years ago. So, in my case, I'm going to get an ADS-B unit that sniffs the transponder/encoder and (hopefully) will work with the Garmin 660. The uAvionix products look very promising. The echoUAT currently available currently solves my situation (if I include their optional GPS puck that goes with it) although I suspect uAvionix is going to announce that they've put an approved GPS inside the case - like the one available in the UK, and charge about $1300 for a complete solution. That's the obvious next step for them . . . and I'm in no hurry.
