Bare Bones Low Cost ADSB-OUT

[Paul 5r4]

Looking at the above link, (www.uavionix.com/products/echo-att-20b), for the uavionix echo ADS-B.... under Limitations it states
"EC systems are designed for aircraft to aircraft visibility. An EC device will not meet standards to allow you to enter controlled airspace." That was copy and pasted from their site so I'm confused as how it meets any FAA criteria in the US.

While surfing the other day, I came across SkyVision Xtreme for an ADS-B In/Out for $1300. This seems like the deal. Does anyone know about them, or better yet, have one?

My question to them would be what the SIL value transmitted by that box is. If it's not SIL=3, I can't see how it would be worth owning.

It does not sound like a good deal to me. After buying required accessories and shipping and tax, it will cost $1500. Then the FAA sends a letter saying to stop using it because it does not meet the rules, it will cost another $3000 for one that does. $1500 + $3000 = $4500 I would buy one that is on the FAA's approved LIST.
Are portable ADS-B-OUT units approved?

Wait another year, or two!

Don't buy the "A", or "B" model.

Looks like a new Uavionix model is coming soon. The ATU-20B is gone and now there is a new EchoUAT and looks to support EFIS (Dynon, MGL and GRT), direct connections and Transponder monitoring for the most compatibility. Supports existing compliant GPS signals feeding an EFIS, but they also have their own affordable GPS source, SkyFYX and spec says SIL=3 and SDA=2. Look at the size of it!!!

I saw this because and an article from Paul from AVweb and he seems pretty enthused about the Uavionix release for Sun 'n Fun. If this is it, looks like what most experimental, light sport aircraft need.

Now I just need to get rid of my Cessna and into my dream RV-8 with a Dynon Skyview.

This unit was originally called PADS-B and it was sold by NavWorx. I contacted Skyvision about the "new" Salus-3 and was told it meets the requirements for light sport and experimentals.

After waiting about six months I recently tried contacting them for some customer reports. Absolutely no response! Sound familiar?

I saw this in another forum:

Got a new LG 7 inch tablet today, so have been playing with it using the $13.99 XRadio ADS-B in dongle. Works great. I'll have to see how it is in the plane, but with the 7 inch display mounted on the yoke I think I will really like it. I paid $60 for the LG tablet, so complete ADS-B in for about $75.

It is pretty much self-constrained (can't connect to FF or WingX Pro), but it is a great price..

Now! Here's a new ADS- B unit thats advertised as ADSB made easy. I'm sure the GA will be able to use!! Not sure if it has built in position source or not but bet that it doesn't. Advertised as just now available and ADSB made easy. But Hang on to you belt buckle when you see the price tag!!! Kind of hard for me to see how you can wrap up that much product and research into a unit that's about the size of a cereal box. Oh well probably not the one for me!!!!

But actually the next item down in the link is a news release on the uavonics ECHO XX to be released at Sun N Fun that actually may be worth reading.
