Darryl, thanks for the clarification.

Both non-TSO'd, $790 for a PowerFlarm Core Pure.

$900 is almost affordable to make my trig tt22 adsb compliant under the new
experimental rules. Interesting to see if anyone comes out with anything even
cheaper.

And saying "non-TSO'ed" is fairly confused/confusing.

Non-TSO'ed here used by avionics manufacturers really means it "meets performance
requirements of" some TSO, but is not actually TSO'ed.

You have to look at the specs the device actually meets even though it is not built to
a TSO. Garmin here are less than clear on this. They talk fuzzily about things like
"meets the 2020 Carriage mandate requirements". Which in this case basically will
mean TSO-C145c. In some cases a non-TSO product from vendors is identical to their
other TSO products just without a TSO label and usually at a significantly lower price.

PowerFLARM does not meet the requirement of any TSO of any type. To say it is
"non-TSO" is true in a way, but really a meaningless statement in the normal way
it is used to describe avionics.

No problems, all the ADS-B stuff is an unfortunate frigging mess... much more than it could have been.
