I believe that Zaon (?) has said that they'd be
releasing a portable ADS-B-IN based unit at some point. So the cost may
be far lower than what we're seeing today.

Would that portable ADS-B equipment meet the NPRM requirements?

I doubt it since the NPRM only discusses ADS-B Out. To that end, you
apparently need a TSOd GPS/WAAS receiver which will not be portable.

Andrew, if your club folks want weather, buy a 396/496 with XM
weather. Rent it out when people need it. Get a Zaon for traffic.
All that they want is available right now. ADS-B is not the answer.
