Kyle asked about what others are doing for ADS-B Out. Here is what I completed
a few months ago.
I recently installed a TailbeaconX in N914TX, my Tri-Gear (built by Bob Fowler)
and I control it with a GRT Sport EX. This was a winner combination for me because
I tossed both an ancient KT-76A transponder and an old AvMap GPS. I shoehorned
the Sport EX into the top of the stack where the AvMap used to be, slightly
enlarging the cut-out. The TailbeaconX is mounted to the back of the D-panel.
FAA PAPR confirms no problems with ADS-B using this configuration. I followed
Jim Butcher's advice of placing the GRT magnetometer above my head between
the doors; I wrapped the magnetometer in aluminum foil (also Jim's recommendation)
and its wires in copper tape to suppress, probably essentially eliminate,
RF interference on the magnetometer from either the transponder or the ADS-B
Out from the TailbeaconX. What a huge improvement in technology from the
>15 year old avionics!
