New Transponder from Dynon

[SteinAir]

Hi All,

For those who aren't able to make it to OSH, here is some info on a new Mode S transpodner from Dynon:

Appears to be a really nice little box with future capability for ADSB and TIS. Priced starting at $1800 and it's SMALL!

Anyway, another neat product by the folks from Dynon.

Additionally, their eagerly anticipated ARINC Converter has been announced for fall of this year.

Well, have a great weekend and we'll see ya'll at OSH!

Cheers,
Stein

Sweet....new toys!!

Looks like the Skyview platform is destined to be a force to be reckoned with!

Saving pennies now for the panel upgrade in about 5 years....paint comes first, paint comes first, paint comes first, I have to keep telling myself that!!

Man I was gonna just upgrade the EFIS but now I may wait and totally upgrade the panel. Wow

Thanks Stein!

Here is the whole announcement:

Dynon is announcing three new SkyView hardware modules at Oshkosh. Visit us in Building D, Booths 4053-4054-4055 to see them first-hand.

First are two Mode-S transponders. The new SV-XPNDR-261 and SV-XPNDR-262 add traffic information, and are the lowest priced Mode-S transponders on the market. They fully integrate into the SkyView System, with no additional panel space required for a separate control panel. At less than 1 pound, these small and power efficient hardware modules can be mounted anywhere in the airplane.

The new transponders meet the USA and European ADS-B OUT mandates. They also allow USA TIS traffic displayed on the SkyView map and synthetic vision displays.

The SV-XPNDR-261 is a Class 1 Mode-S transponder, meeting the requirements for flights above 15,000? and greater than 175 knots. At only $2,200 it is ideal for high performance experimental aircraft. The SV-XPNDR-262 is a Class 2 Mode-S transponder for flights below 15,000 feet and less then 175 knots, and at only $1,800 it is the ideal choice for Light Sport aircraft. Both these prices continue the Dynon tradition of delivering the highest quality products at the lowest prices.

We are also introducing the new SkyView SV-ARINC-429 Adapter Module, which delivers on the promise to make SkyView compatible with certified GPS receivers, integrating with radios such as the Garmin 430/530. This includes advanced features that IFR pilots demand, such as GPS steering, CDI auto-scaling and vertical guidance information from WAAS-enabled GPS receivers. This Module also enables the full suite of G430/530 VOR and localizer functionality. With the addition of this module, SkyView eliminates the need to install a conventional CDI/GS head for the Garmin 430/530.

And at only $475, the SV-ARINC-429 adds this capability at a Dynon price.

These three new SkyView Modules will be available for delivery in the Fall of 2010.

Any guesses as to when they will implement weather for Skyview?

[dynonsupport]

Honestly, weather is not going to be this year. We hope to get another really nice update to the map, and then add weather to it after that.

And just to clarify something, this transponder brings us USA traffic via TIS right away with the transponder, not in a future software update. We don't have it 100% coded up yet, but we do expect to be able to pull traffic from other devices as well even if you don't have our transponder.

Any plans to pursue a UAT option for folks who want FIS-B?

outstanding, dynon is staying at top of my list for avionics, hoping the weather will be in place by the time i get to that phase

[dynonsupport]

Supporting UATs that can receive FIS-B is something we'll investigate when we do weather. That's a natural progression for a system like this, so you will see support someday, we just can't say when right now.

It would be great if I could use it with my GNS-480. The 480 was designed to work with a remote transponder (the SL-70 which is no longer available).

If I could replace my GTX-327 with this unit and get traffic, I'd do it today.
