At this price point, there are going to be a lot of GA aircraft buying this, or similar UAT products, to meet the 2020 mandate. That's reality folks. If you buy PowerFlarm, you're not going to see these aircraft. Do you really want to invest in this kind of half baked technology?
Oh bull****. You still need a Mode A/C or Mode S transponder to get full use of airspace, and to get ANY protection from TCAS-equipped jet. NO-ONE will be UAT only ADS-B out, IMO. Why would they?
And guess what, with my PowerFLARM, RIGHT NOW, I get excellent warning of ALL Mode A/C/S and 1090ES ADS-B traffic in my vicinity, as well as really good glider anti collision warnings.
Mike, your bias is noted. But at least try to be honest with the facts.
