Thanks Jeff for this info, You may know now that uAvionix has stopped making the EchoUAT so there are very few in any pipelines. I wanted one to install in an LSA that I am working on. I understand that they MAY be offering something like it in the future with the fix included but no time promise.
Surprisingly every spot I checked was out of stock but with a connection I found that GRT avionics had a few in stock that they pair with an antenna unit that they have made to do what uAvionix was offering in the past. I talked them out of one of the last ones on the shelf so this update is something I will need to do. I will be buying the SkyFYX Ext antenna from them for my system. Have you heard anything special to do with these two units together?
