A friend just sent me this link about the Uavionix EchoUAT.
https://uavionix.com/echouat-update/
If I had to guess, they are position themselves to discontinue it. I'm sad to see
that option go since it seems to be the only one on the market that works with
exiting transponders like the GTX-327. Also I'm not a fan of using products
that require you to use more products from the same company to get the job
done. The EchoUAT was somewhat freedom from that. Their alternative is to use
the tail beacon X ($2500), which is only ADS-B Out, then having to purchase a
AV20 or AV30 to operate it if you elect to stay within their product line. I'm
not sure what other options are out there controlling the tail beacon x.
What are others doing for an ADS-B in/out solution? I now have a GTX-327 that
I probably wont use now. :(
The EachoUAT has its flaws but it fills a gap without much equipment change nicely.
Most of those flaws could be corrected with software upgrades, but also some
hardware to boost the power etc.... Startup idea anyone? :)
I like the part, "FAA is no longer comfortable with ... the reporting of barometric
altitude by the transponder..." I built a solution to this problem a few
months ago and Emailed Uavionix about it but never got a reply. If you can read
Python, here you go: https://github.com/icarus747/PicoICARUS. Funny enough
they came out with an EchoALT.
Some say just get the NGT-9000 and be done with it, but at over $6k....sure sure.

I don't see the problem with this as uAvionix is supplying the echoAlt, wi
ring harness, and firmware upgrade for FREE. That should take care of any F
AA issues.
