That said, the FAA is making it less likely the clue will be provided with the ADSB program. I have mode C + Flarm now. To move to ADSB 2020 will cost $4k. (1800 for the transponder + $1800 for the GPS + install)


$1800 for the GPS seems unrealistic, given I can make the Dynon Skyview with trig
transponder in my Phoenix 2020 compliant for only $500 for the GPS.
