ADS-B Out now or wait? Garmin Questions
I currently have a GTN650 and a GDL39 and Garmin Pilot App for ADSB-IN
I would now like ADSB-OUT capability. I was considering installing a GTX330-ES Transponder.
I notice I could save some money (about $1k) by purchasing a used GTX330 that was factory upgraded to "-ES". Is there any downfall to doing so? Is the 330 a bulletproof unit or does it need repairs from time to time?
My other question is if I wait two more years, will there be changes to ADS-B?
i.e. something crazy like ADS-B II+ is out now which offers more features over ADS-B, but you must buy all new quipment to utilize it's features.
Thanks for any input,
Jeff
