Brett:
I received the unit and the GPS/antenna/receiver. I am in the process of
building the harnesses so that I can integrate them into my avionics solution.
I love the KTX2 Transponder for its super small size package. In addition, the
antenna/receiver solves my GPS serial output for my Dynon Autopilot for
tracking my flight plans. Overall, this setup solves more than just the ADSB
problems for me.

Hi Luis,
I'm very interested to learn about your experience with your Mode S
ADSB-out transponder by TQ Aviation (at Gulf Coast Avionics) for $1412 and
the Sky Fyx GPS antenna/receiver for $475. I am also looking for an ADSB
solution for my KR2S.
thanks,
Brett Lombardi
