If you’re at a Class B or C served airport or under a Mode C/ADSB veil it is a simple solution to add a universal access transceiver (UAT) to your existing mode A/C transponder setup (<$2k - Skybeacon, Echo UAT).
If not transponder equipped at all there are some small all-in-one boxes at reasonable prices (for airplane stuff) out there now (<$3k - Trig, Appareo Stratus, etc.). It’s a bit of cost, but worth the freedom and safety it adds to fly in any airspace.
