All Trig transponders are 2020 compliant when hooked to an appropriate GPS. That's what they mean by "capable". The Becker is the same.
The Microair and Sandia are mode C only so cannot do ADS-B (which requires mode S with extended squitter).
The Trig T22 is a class 1, mode S transponder with built in encoder. Also $1300 less than the Becker for some reason.
So this would be good for 3+ years, then I could hook it to an approved GPS device?
Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the reliability of Trig units?
Thanks

MUCH faster "radar contact" from ATC **it seems** since I changed to the Trig.
Trig TT-22 and TT-31 experience.
Connected to Garmin 400 Series and Garmin 600 Series of navigators.
Works as advertised. ADS-B reports with zero errors.

I experienced the same with my DYNON (TT-22) transponder. During my last transponder check the technician commented it had the strongest transponder output signal he had ever seen.I've noticed this too. Could it really be because of the transponder?
Note that my unit is a Dynon transponder, which is a TT-22 with a bit of different code in the firmware to communicate with the Skyview.
Perhaps we have to wait for the small integrated Mode S/ADSB out/Internal GPS units that will be needed for the Amazon Delivery Drones?
The production volumes needed should reduce the price...
Seriously though, could the drone market be the salvation for low-cost GA ADSB units?
