Default New Dynon ADS-B for Skyview

Another ADSB receiver announced today...I'll copy part of Dynon's release below:

...This remotely mounted receiver module integrates with the SkyView system to provide easy access to weather and traffic information on top of the detailed navigational information SkyView already provides.

At an MSRP of $995, the SV-ADSB-470 is the most affordable permanently mounted ADS-B solution on the market and has been designed specifically for experimental and light sport aircraft. It is powered directly from aircraft power and utilizes an externally mounted antenna for superior performance.

Weather is displayed graphically and textually on SkyView, and includes NEXRAD radar, METARs, and TAFS. Airport weather data can be chosen based on nearest or by airport identifier.

By combining the SV-ADSB-470 with Dynon?s existing SV-XPNDR-261 Mode-S transponder module with ADS-B out, reliable, accurate traffic will be provided to the SkyView system, even without a certified GPS on board. The ADS-B system requires the aircraft to be ADS-B OUT equipped before traffic information is provided, and Dynon?s Transponder is fully DO-260B / ADS-B out certified so SkyView owners will receive a complete traffic picture any time ADS-B services are available. Nearby traffic that is a threat will generate an audio alert so that the pilot does not need to keep looking at the screen to be alerted to nearby aircraft...



Cheers,
Stein

At last!

I was ready to buy a Stratus for the iPad, this might change that.

The Dynon web page doesn't have any info yet, I wonder what the time frame for availability will be. I might just have to get the iPad solution working anyway, then I'll have to see if there's enough value to also buy the new Dynon ADS-B module.

We are stating that we will be shipping the SV-ADSB-470 "this Fall". We've been working on it for a while, and the project is actually ahead of schedule, and flying, and looking good. So while I can't give you an exact date yet, it will be sooner rather than later this Fall.

We have a lot to get up on the Website this Oshkosh... lot's of new products. So I promise by Monday to update everything. But an exclusive for VAF... here is a link to download the SV-ADSB-470 brochure.

Question Antenna

Any details on the type/size/mounting requirements of the ADS-B antenna?

The ADS-B antenna is basically a transponder antenna. So, a blade or stub antenna, mounted like you are used to.

It goes on the bottom of the plane, and the only real requirement is to get it away from the transponder antenna. We're working on exact recommendations for the distance, but anything over 2' will be fine, we hope we can allow closer.

Question Integration into SV system

Will it require another serial input, or does it use the SV network?

BTW, great news! Very excited to be able to use this in the busy DFW area.

I get that this is possible for now because the FAA apparently has not been enforcing the precision position source requirement but how can this statement be true for once they do start enforcing this requirement?

Also, Robert, can you explain why Dynon decided not to make this a dual band unit? Seems to me that there are some advantages to being able to get the air to air data from both bands.
