not only is it amazing what has appeared in the last year...we have eight years to go before its required. i can only imagine. it reminds me of the first gps receivers. pretty exciting. at one time it became evident that Garmin was leaving "comfortable" King behind. Not sure who is "comfortable" now but it isn't Dynon. and it certainly isn't measured by how (or via whom) you announce it. Dynon is most certainly on a mission...and its been fun to watch.

No display of the ADSB receiver at Oshkosh, no pre-orders, etc. would have liked to see at least a sim. IMO, they missed their target date on this felt compelled to announce it anyway to stave off the endless whining at the show of where's the weather and to keep customers from buying other products hitting the market.

Question

I flew the ADS-B box from AZ to Oshkosh, and it worked great. This is not a vaporwre product, nor is it internally behind schedule. I'm sure you noticed that we released some other big stuff at Oshkosh, so weather was not where we were hanging our hat for the whole show, nor is it the only SkyView project we have internally.

Dynon doesn't take pre-orders more than a few weeks out for any product. We don't believe in that method of releasing products. We will have plenty of these when they go for sale so there's no reason for a queue. Just because someone takes your order doesn't mean they are at a certian point in their development.

In the mess getting packed for the show, a demo ADS-B box got forgotten, but there will be one at the show today.

Our ADS-B solution and weather display is going to be a great addition to SkyView and absolutely is coming shortly. We're exited to have it.

Is there a specific frequency range that must be adhered to for the ADS-B in/out reception? The stubby antenna with a ball on the end usually hits different frequency ranges from the blade antenna. What is the margin on the ranges? Thanks.

ADS-B is 978 MHz, so you want good response at that frequency. Anything with a VSWR of 3:1 or less at that frequency should be fine.

I don't know why a stub or blade would be tuned differently. They are both trying to deal with exactly the same signal, and in our experience, a transponder blade or a transponder stub both work equally well.
