I am installing a GDL 82 in my RV-7. I've read some older posts regarding this topic but haven't found any recent updates.
I am wondering if I should wire a switch for 'Anonymous Mode'. I understand that the only thing that Anonymous Mode does for you is that your N number is not displayed if your below 18,000' and squawking 1200. I also understand the FARs in that if your aircraft is ADSB out equipped, it must be operational whenever the aircraft is operating/in motion (meaning no 'off' or 'standby' modes).
Wouldn't you meet the FARs regarding ADSB operation in Anonymous Mode? What about flying over Class B airspace. Technically, your ADSB Out is still operating but your N number is not being displayed.
