My experience - -
This was a recent trip to Janesville Wisc. I am using an iPad pro 10". I backed out the screen so I could see all the traffic. For this part of the country, this shows there was a lot of traffic. Maybe 21 targets. Works well I would say.

A couple years back I started a thread on this topic. You can find it here: http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ight=Uavionics
The installation is quite straightforward. It is important to get all the setup parameters set correctly. I use the ?sniffing? feature to grab the transponder code and altitude, and it took a fair amount of trial and error to get the gain set correctly. I think I ended up at 1350. Customer support is excellent.

Uat
I hooked mine to a KT76A and have no problems. My sensitivity is set at 1350 also. Traffic and weather on my 740 works great.

EchoUATSkyFix EXT
-8A. Mounted GPS antenna on a fabricated bracket under the cowl, UAT antenna under the right wing root, the box under the floor forward of the rear stick. Hardwire connection to AFS 4500; did not hardwire to the GTX-327 - connector plug access issues.
UAvionix support was superb in troubleshooting performance problems (the "system" couldn't recognize me). After going through numerous troubleshooting scenarios, turned out the problem was a bad self-built coax cable, proving once again life is a lot harder when you're stupid.
Amazing performance for under $1400.

I plan to go with the EchoUAT as well and have been following this thread. If you read the latest updates from the Beta testers it?s looking like this problem may be fixed.
