This is a perfect example of some of the somewhat deceptive advertising I have been seeing. You will note that you get a to pay $3500 for a Mode-S transponder that is touted as ADS-B Out "SOLVED". But what is less than obvious is that the Transponder does NOT have a WAAS GPS Position source. If you happen to have a WAAS enabled Garmin GTN/GNS system to front end the transponder as a position source, you're in luck. If you don't, well, for another $15,000, they can fix you right up.
This is virtually identical to the unit I looked at from Sandia Aerospace for the same price, except that the Sandia unit also had ADS-B in, a traffic display on the front panel, and WiFi to talk to your GPS. But you still need to buy a high end WAAS enabled Garmin device to front end it. (read $$$$$) When reading the ads for ADS-B Out, you have to look to see what isn't in the ad. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM ? --------------------------- Subject:?KR> ADS-B BendixKing by Honeywell Here is some information that might help your research.
