FAA ADS-B Out NPRM needs to be drastically changed

Very unfortunately the prices for certified aviation electronics hasn't done
the same and there is no reason to think it will in the future.

From what I can tell, ADS-B requires a
mode-s transponder, a high performance GPS,
a 1030 Mhz receiver which may or may not
be part of the transponder, a fast computer
and a display.

There's no way to predict what that would
cost in 2020 except that it will be more
than $180.


I believe that UAT is 978 MHz but the frequency is trivial.
