Ira,
Thanks, it was fun to do the flight with the NavWorx box and see
what ADS-B would be like. For a lot of people, even if you have
XM or WSI weather, it's going to be a nice thing because many
people have Wx on their 396/496 or whatever, but having it on
your EFIS makes navigating around things much easier.
On the Chelton, they were ahead of the pack when it came to
ADS-B...keep in mind that they worked with the Alaska Capstone
project, so they've done ADS-B longer than most everyone.
They used a Garmin box I think though because back then that's
all there was. So the Chelton already has an ADS-B interface
that you can configure on it. I don't know the
specs on how a standard ADS-B interface is supposed to
look, but I can tell you that when I test flew the portable
NavWorx system it already just worked, out of the box. So in
my case there really was no work to do if someone just wanted
ADS-B. I believe if the Blue Mountain was programmed to be able
to utilize a standard ADS-B data stream it probably would
work fine. Perhaps that's something that BMA can add to their
system down the road?

The NavWorx site lists several popular EFIS's as being compatible but BMA wasn't
listed.
