During my just completed annual, I installed an EchoUAT and SkyFYX in my RV-4. Today, I received a clean PAPR after a test flight around Boston airspace.
I installed both uAvionix boxes on the pilot side of the firewall. In addition, I installed a splitter for the GPS line. The splitter takes the signal from the existing antenna (mounted on the rear fuselage skin, under the canopy) and provides signal to both the panel mounted GPS (SL60) and the SkyFYX unit. Those boxes, along with a RAMI transponder antenna on the belly, completed the new hardware installation. (Please excuse the photos below, as the wires had not been dressed and the hardware was temporary at photo time.)

The uAvionix app worked well on my iPad. I ran into some issues with configuring settings in the SL70 transponder, but the guys at uAvionix patiently walked me thru the appropriate steps and the app immediately reported a clean install. I'm thrilled to now be compliant and having done so with only minor mods to the aircraft.
Now, I just need to figure out why my AoA audio annunciator stopped working...
