I checked the GRT website and they said the Dual XGPS170 was a serial in direct wire option. Good reviews on dual so I bought one, but upped to the XGPS190 because it has the AHRS and is dual band.
Great looking system, single antenna, blue tooth to Foreflight, perfect for the HX EFIS.
So the rub the only output is the charging cable which Dual said outputs data but I needed to get a 232 output on the mini port connector and GRT should have that. GRT doesn't do that, but said I could use the port by cutting the USB charging line and taking the one wire out as 232. The problem with that is that is also the only charging port. That means I could use it or charge it but probably not both.
My whole reasoning on this was a permanent, no maintenance solution, with a single external antenna?
Is anyone else using a DUAL ADSB hardwired to a GRT EFIS? If so ? how did you connect the two so that you get data out and charge at the same time.
