Scott Edwards is on his way to Oshkosh. I think he wore out his iphone... in the last few months. Maybe there will be a show special for "tech support" proof phones somewhere on the grounds. He shared a preview of the .pdf explaining the upgrade to EXP version. No antenna change needed according to Scott. Photo shows a piggy back aluminum box attached to the top of the original unit.
Dallas IS actually a distributor. It is out of the norm to be published as the go to guy for a manufacturer for Dallas Avionics. Scott is trying hard to meet customer expectations in this unprediced circumstance. Time will tell, how it all turns out.

NavWorx and Dallas Avionics are in booth 4054 at Oshkosh.

Any reports from Osh-17 on NavWorx/Dallas Avionics would be greatly appreciated. I expect there will be a lot going on there - a bunch of us are interested in the upcoming software update!

This booth is likely to be only slightly less busy than the Lycoming booth.

I was at the ,NavWorx booth at 0900 this morning & talked to Dave, Bethany & Scott Edwards.
They do have a $299 solution. Orders to be taken 2nd week of August with deliveries in 2-4 weeks. Payment is not required at the time of order.
Basically you attach the small box onto the existing unit jumping the 9 pin connector. The output 9 pin from the new box has the same pin assignments so it's basically, plug & play.
I'll post a picture later as I'm on my phone posting now.

Oh, the software update sets SIL=0.
We don't want to do that.
No software update is required with the new box.

Bill was there, but I did not talk to him.
If others have specific questions, let me know & I will try and get an answer for you.

New SB's posted on their website
 
Service Bulletins for the 200-0012, 200-0013, and EXP units are now up on the website. I have downloaded both. The SB's reference software that is not posted yet.

Dan,
Here's a couple of questions for them....

When will the software be available on the website?
Does the new software still transmit SIL=3 for systems configured with external GPS source (430W, etc -> getting AMOC)?
When will the Display Port 2 issue software fix be released?
When will the SL-70 control head issue software fix be released?

If they ask - you can use my name!

And Dan , add one more please. Will the software/ hardware be included for the 1090 receive .? Thanks

roadrunner20 07-24-2017 03:18 PM

I'll visit them again tomorrow & post their response.

I talked with Scott Edwards this afternoon regarding unfulfilled 600 EXP orders since last August.
Orders will be shipped by late August with "black box" that has transmond device internal.
That is good news if it comes to pass.
