If you already have a functional transponder and encoder, then the Echo UAT paired with the SKYFXY-ext as your GPS source is one of the most reasonably priced solutions. Add power, mount the UAT Out antenna and the GPS antenna, make a run through the configuration menu from your phone or tablet and you're set. Unlike the Tail and Wing Tip Beacons, the Echo-UAT has ADS-B In built into it as well. Wifi to your GPS or Tablet and you've got traffic and weather as well as your ADS-B out.
I've bought one for each of my planes (The KR, the SuperCub, then the RV) and have been flying with the Echo UAT units for quite a while now. Additionally, when I have run into issues, I've found their support to be excellent. -Jeff Scott Arkansas Ozarks > Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 6:17 PM > From: "John Bouyea" <j...@bouyea.net> > To: "'KRnet'" <krnet@list.krnet.org> > Subject: KR>Re: uAvionix ADSB echoUAT on sale? > > 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.
