Van, et. al.,
I have installed and certified the echoUAT+SkyFYX in my RV-6A.
Installation was easy other than having to get under the instrument
panel. I installed the external echoUAT transponder antenna at the
firewall and on the opposite side of the fuselage from my existing
transponder antenna. Doesn=99t quite meet the 36 inch separation
requirement, but seems to work okay. My existing GPS antenna is mounted
on a firewall bracket under the cowl and there was room to put the
SkyFYX antenna on the bracket. Punched a hole in the firewall to run
RG-400 cable. B&C connectors come with the assembly. Mounting the
echoUAT was a bit problematic until I found a location for it, but
installation was a snap. echoUAT box is smaller than a pack of
cigarettes. Power and ground wires are easy. Mating with the existing
transponder was easy and instructions are included for several brands of
acceptable transponders. Mine was an SL-70. I ordered the system from
the factory rep who was a great support help in programming the echoUAT.
You use an IPad, iPhone or other tablets/phones to program the system.
The uAvionix rep was Shane Woodson at (214) 909-1515.
I=99ll be glad to answer any other questions you can come up with.

I am just wrapping up installing the echoUAT and SkyFX in my RV-6 (slider).
I mounted mine on an easily removable small panel in the right side of the
battery box (original battery location in the cabin against the firewall)
and placed the SkyFX antenna on the glare shield. Have not completed the p
rogramming yet so fingers crossed it all checks out. The UAT antenna is in
the bottom skin directly below the echoUAT and I just connected it to the
short coax pigtail they provide through a 90 degree and male to male BNC ad
apters. Looks like it should work fine.
