Holy UAT, Batman
What in-panel glider hardware will accept GDL90 format information?
Or is there some sort of G'zinta box to convert? Jim |

Holy UAT, Batman
Somebody needs to write a Pi2 software routine to output NMEA plus whatever weather format LX Nav is accepting. It seems to me the traffic data needs to go out on a serial port and the weather would be via WiFi hotspot since that is what LXNav is using. I doubt they are in a hurry to build something that would only work in the US so you'd need to spoof what they are delivering via cellular data and WiFi hotspot - assuming it's not encrypted.
You'd need ADS-B Out with the right configuration to get TIS-B except for the random output meant for other aircraft. 9B |

A few gliders could almost guarantee full picture for everyone for $120 an istallation. RC can not make ADS-B out illegal. I already have ADS-B out as well as ADS-B in on both UAT and 1090 frequencies. The prices of ADS-B out will be continuously coming down and installing one for experimental gliders is not a problem even today. With the Garmin new unit for $845 I am sure we will see more ADS-B out gliders soon if one already has a Trig 22 transponder, there is little reason not to do it. There are more and more planes installing ADS-B out so even if someone does not have "out" they can still see a lot of traffic. That is true on Northern New England. I would not have a problem with voluntarily restricting what I have in my cockpit for contest purposes as long as my safety is not jeopardized like with the Stealth mode. |
