Thanks to everyone for your input. N133RM has a Garmin GTX320 transponder with an AK350 encoder and passed the transponder check a few months ago successfully. That is the main reason I haven't gone with the proposed King KT74 transponder and even if it does add ADSB capability, it would still require a WAAS GPS source at several more hundred dollars. Looking at the Sandia transponder with its internal altitude encoder, it requires a standalone ADSB solution. Looking at the Status ESG transponder with ADSB, I think it requires an external encoder. Seems like lots of bits and pieces in any and all cases with more wires running between them all. I do like the uAvionix echoUAT ADSB-in feature which means I can get rid of my Stratux ADSB receiver... Thanks again.

I am using the uAvionix ADSB Echo with the uAvionx GPS, and an old Samsung tablet I was already using with Ifly GPS . I am using a KIng kt76a I picked up on Ebay for around $150.00 that included the mounting tray and a blind encoder. I then sent the transponder to a company in Texas to tune it up and yellow tag it. That was $125.00. so I'm around 1800 dollars for the whole system. It has work well since I installed it Jan 2020. I get good reports from the Public ADS-B Performance Report and no complaints for the control tower most of the time. We have some bad coverage areas where I like to fly, often close to the ground in mountainous places.

The weight is measured at 60 grams for the transceiver and 36 grams for the GPS device. Unbelievable. (A neighbour is advocating buying a used King KT-74 transponder ~ $1400-1600 on EBay and I still have to add an approved GPS source.) So I'm asking is there any reason why NOT to jump on this $1349 discounted price? Am I missing something?
