New all in one ADSB Garmin
Nice to see Garmin have brought this out today on Avweb.
Apparently responding to buyer complaints about complex ADS-B Out solutions that require expensive WAAS upgrades, Garmin International has announced two all-in-one transponders that will allow owners who don’t have WAAS GPS receivers to upgrade to ADS-B Out as simply as possible. One version of the new product combines both In and Out in a single box, with the option of onboard WAAS GPS, while a second is a less expensive Out only solution.
The GTX 345/335 are extended-squitter Mode S transponders that will meet the 2020 mandate for ADS-B Out. For owners who don’t have a WAAS GPS source in the airplane—and that’s many—the transponders will also offer the option of onboard WAAS sources, significantly broadening the market appeal.
