Yes.
I added a post this morning on this thread. Looks like we have become orphans.

Well, that's it. Over and Out on Navworx. $1890 down the drain...time to press on.
Just ordered ADS-B 2020 compliant GPS/Uavionix EchoUAT ADS-B In/Out Transceiver from GRT....$1490.
And they would not take a credit card until ready to ship, estimated mid November.
What a breath of fresh air.

I just talked to Scott Edwards at Dallas Avionics & they will be sending out a global email.
Bottom line: Game Over
No product will be manufactured or delivered including the doghouse fix for the EXP.

Really? Of course the written word does not lend itself well to jesting, so maybe thou doth indeed jest.

This brings to mind two questions. First -- if companies like uAvionix, Dynon and Levil can source compliant GPS modules, then why was Navworx apparently unable to do so? Second -- If other manufacturers get the same scrutiny of their GPS modules from the FAA, are we likely to see this scenario repeated?
I had planned at one time to buy a Navworx box, but decided against it based on their incredibly poor handling of the FAA issue. At this point, though, I'm not inclined to buy anyone's ADS-B OUT solution until I have to. I'd hate to buy one from some other manufacturer, only to find they used the same GPS module the FAA rejected for Navworx.
I get a really bad feeling that this story isn't over, and no one's going to like the ending much.

Is there a way to disable the transmitter portion so that my Navworx EXP box can at least work as an ADS-B In receiver?

I'm sorry to see this come down the way it did. Obviously Bill was betting his business on this GPS vendor and lost.
It appears that the only legal option now for those of us with ADS600-B's are the three AMOCs. While it makes us legal, I believe it's just a temporary stop gap.
There are still outstanding bugs in the current software release that Bill has stated are fixed in 5.0. (i.e. traffic on both display ports). While legal, our units are only going to suffice until a major bug pops up. It will buy us some time so that we can save and plan the purchase of replacement units.
