Dave,
We can talk about it next week when we go to lunch. Which Becker transponder do you currently have?

The Becker you have is a class 2 unit (low power) which is not approved for ADS-B out (class 1 is required).

Two paths are available to you. Neither has anything to do specifically with the GRT Sport. (I have three Sx's in my RV6).

UAT - a dedicated box/system that does everything (e.g. NavWorX)

1090ES transponder - Garmin (330ES) or Trig (TT-31 or TT-22).
++PLUS++
Certified position source - e.g. Garmin 430W, Garmin 650, newly released position source GPS from Garmin, or AviDyne (I think).

If your Sport is an HX then it will remotely operate a Trig 22 box without the control head.
Only ADSB-out is required, but the -in is relatively inexpensive. Many UAT boxes include "in" (but not all); with the transponder route you need a separate "in" box. Be sure to get one that will display on the GRT.

There are several gps position sources that are less expensive than the full-up navigators (but not cheap).

Maybe not cheap, but easiest...

I think you will also need a "certified" GPS. The one in the Sport is not certified.

I sell the L3 NGT-9000 for $5895 with everything included. When you add up the price for a new transponder, certified GPS source and ADS-B receiver it's really very competitive.
It also has a very nice touch screen display that shows weather and traffic.

ADS-B 101.
Getting an education quick.
Thanks.
What is the compliance date before we are grounded without it?
