Dear Fellow Pilot,
January 1, 2020 should be fixed in your mind as most planes flying in populated areas need an ADS-B Out transmitter by that date.
If you've looked around, you know they generally start above $3,000 and go up. Then add the cost of installation.

One of the great things about FlyQ EFB is its support for about 15 ADS-B systems including Stratus^, FreeFlight, Clarity, Dual, iLevil, and PathFinder. And NavWorx.

PADS-B: Safety, Safety, Safety
All Traffic, All The Time.
Wirelessly Sent to FlyQ EFB on Your iPad.
The whole point of ADS-B is to see and avoid traffic yet the NavWorx PADS-B is the only portable system that reliably shows all traffic.
Isn't your family's safety worth $120/year?

PADS-B: All Traffic

Stratus 2: Some or no traffic

You can buy several other ADS-B systems for a little less than the PADS-B but none will show all the traffic all the time. Take the Stratus 2S for example. FlyQ EFB supports it and it's a good ADS-B In system for about $900 versus $1500 for the PADS-B. But unless your plane has ADS-B Out, the Stratus simply cannot guarantee that it shows all the traffic near you. In fact, it often shows none. The PADS-B, by contrast, shows all the traffic because it has ADS-B Out which tells the ADS-B ground stations to broadcast traffic. Therefore, even if you turn the ADS-B Out portion of the PADS-B off in 2020 (effectively making it an ADS-B In system like the Stratus), you've had nearly 5 years of flying with the safety of seeing all traffic for 5 years. Those 5 years of safety cost you a net difference of about $600 or around $120 a year.
All portable ADS-B In systems (such as every other portable ADS-B system out there) are great for weather but dangerously unreliable for traffic because FAA ground stations only transmit traffic if your plane has ADS-B Out. If you don't have ADS-B Out, you often see no traffic or may see some traffic but it's traffic near another plane -- one with ADS-B Out -- not yours! This is dangerously misleading because it's entirely possible that there is additional traffic close to you but far from the ADS-B Out-equipped plane. Such traffic is not sent in the ADS-B data because it's too far from the ADS-B Out-equipped plane to be a factor to it. But it could be a factor to you!
The PADS-B includes ADS-B Out (978 Mhz) and ADS-B In for both 978 Mhz and 1090 Mhz (that is, it's a dual channel receiver).

ADS600-B
2020-Compliant, Certified. Just $1799!
| |
The ADS600-B is the ideal solution for certified aircraft. It includes both ADS-B In (receives weather and traffic) and ADS-B Out (broadcasts your position to ATC so other aircraft will 'see' you and causes ADS-B ground stations to send you nearby traffic).
An internal ADS-B compliant WAAS GPS means you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a new GPS.
ADS-B Out systems need to broadcast your squawk code and pressure altitude from your transponder. While many other ADS-B systems require a new transponder, the ADS600-B gets the transponder data from a simple serial cable (newer transponders) or a patent-pending, stroke-of-genius device called the TransMonSPE (optional, $199) that uses induction to read the data from your transponder cable without any cable splicing.
An optional Wi-Fi adapter broadcasts the weather and traffic to FlyQ EFB on your iPad and the built-in serial ports connect to many MFDs.
Broadcasts and receives on 978 Mhz.
Installation not included. Some additional parts may be required in certain installations. See the NavWorx Web site for more information.

ADS600-EXP - $1149
Meets the FAA mandate. Meets your budget.
| |
The ADS600-EXP is virtually the same as the ADS600-B but specifically designed for experimental and light sport aircraft. And at a truly amazing price!
In one small, easy to install unit, it packs both ADS-In and ADS-B Out, a compliant WAAS GPS receiver, and even built-in Wi-Fi for connecting to FlyQ EFB on your iPad!
It connects via a serial cable to many newer transponders and uses the same incredible TransMonSPE device (optional, $199) to communicate with older transponders.
Broadcasts and receives on 978 Mhz.
Installation not included. Some additional parts may be required in certain installations. See the NavWorx Web site for more information.
