ADS-B Compliant for $1,000?

Claims to interface with AFS, Dynon, GRT, and MGL. Does anyone have experience with these units? Certainly looks interesting.

Looks promising, hopefully more players will be releasing ADSB-out solutions.

I was impressed at what Levil was showing off at SunNFun with their Beacon.

They are working on getting it certified/approved, but will should meet the ADSB mandate and only requires power and GPS antenna hookup so installation should be pretty easy.

I thought I heard it was going to be between $1000 and $1500 or so. If they are successful I'm sure others will be replicating this idea.

It still requires an external ADS-B compliant GPS position source, which can easily be the most expensive piece of equipment.

Not true anymore. There is the Garmin GPS 20A (though you need the antenna which can be bought on Ebay for $100-200). Uavioni has the SkyFyX All IN One Antenna (or separate receiver and antenna) no prices yet, but I would expect it may be well below $1k. Dynon has the 2020 GPS Receiver/Antenna for around $500. And GRT has the Safe-Fly 2020 ADS-B Compliant GPS Module also for around $500 (which is the Uavioni system I believe).

SkyFyx is $499, or $399 if you buy it bundled with the EchoUAT. I was just looking at that this morning. The Garmin only seems to make sense if you have a G3X, it's pretty spendy.

I'd buy the UAvionix, but I want to wait and see what the Levil Blade sells for when they start selling it.

I just purchased a Stratus ESG transponder that includes a compliant GPS....will be ~$1650 after the FAA rebate.

And those are ADS-B compliant GPS sources when connected to the individual EFIS so keep adding those costs. FWIW, I was most impressed with the iLevil "all in one" unit at SunNFun.

what impressed me was the low weight, 95 grams. did I read that correctly?

I'm also holding out for the Levil Beacon with an estimated price of $1300.
