Just glad I bit the bullet and put in a FreeFlight system while it was affordable!😀

Dynon's transponder has been ADS-B compliant with the latest rules since 2014, and the GPS included with the SkyView package can be used for ADS-B out until 2020.

Plus, SkyView can upgrade the transponder right in the plane, you don't have to take it to a dealer to get it upgraded when there's new software

Yes..but Garmin has come out with a product "GPS 20A" ($845.00) that when used with the gtx-23es, will provide a 2020 compliant GPS feed "and" the gtx-23es is a dual frequency ads-b receiver (978/1090 MHz). The issue of software updating....Dynon wins.

Ric,
The GPS 20A also requires the GA 35 antenna to work. It's $1,225 for everything you need, not $845.

The GTX-23ES is a Mode-S transponder only. It is not an ADS-B receiver at all.

Garmin's ADS-B receiver is called the GDL-39R and is a completely separate option from the GTX-23ES.

Just trying to keep the information correct.
