I have my avionics shop making some major mods to my RV8 panel. One mod was to add a Navworx 600b ADSB. My luck, consistent as it is, allowed me to pay the certified price a few weeks before the feds allowed non-tso'd units which sell for a grand or so less. We discovered that the unit had a bad gps and had to return it. That done I was anticipating a Florida early spring flight but got this message today:
"Hi Don, good news and bad news. Good news is I got the ADSB back, re-installed, and after fussing around with it for a while got it to work. Bad news is that it will not work with the cheap little GPS antenna they supplied with the unit. It does work with a Garmin GA-35 WAAS GPS just like the one currently installed for your GTN-650 (I think its under the cowling at the top edge of the firewall). So we need to install another GA-35 somewhere..."
As you can imagine I am eagerly looking forward to spending $300 or so on an antenna.
Anyone have an issue like this?
VR,
Don
