I think you can upgrade the GTX330 to the ES version for about $1K, but per
the Q&A at AC Spruce the GTX327 tray and harness is not interchangeable.
Will the GTX 330 ES fit the same rack as the GTX 327? How about the harness?
The Garmin GTX 330 ES and the GTX 327 use both different racks and
harnesses.

The *easiest* (and likely cheapest, due to minimal labor) path for
'out', with a G430W already installed and a G327 tray installed, would
probably be a G330 ES transponder for 'out', and just about any cheap
'in' solution. Cheapest 'in' is an android phone/tablet running the
Avare + SDR I described in the previous email (could be under $100 for a
complete 'in' solution). Note that the above is purely plug & play; load
the apps, plug in the cable to the tablet & SDR, and go.
But I'm in no hurry to install 'out'. Stuff will change. FAA says they
won't move the deadline, but according to many sources, we're already
too close to the deadline for existing shops to get all a/c upgraded in
time. And regardless, the equipment will get cheaper.

A similar self build device using a raspberry Pi B+ is being developed as
open source in the UK see http://www.pilotaware.com/ for ADS-B in this
will also provide ADS-B out for connection to a ES equipped transponder and
transmission to another pilotaware device I will wait for further
development & testing before I build one. I read some prototypes have been
tested with a GPS plugin dongle & air pressure sensing boards added all at
a low cost but transmitter needs further screening work to make reliable.
I assume it would also be usable in USA

Sorry; I thought I'd read on the interwebs that the 330 would fit a 327
tray, with just a few added pins. I guess I've discovered the first
error on the 'net. :-)
