echoUAT and GPS 2020 availability

Post by gmohr »

I saw this combination at Sun N Fun and was really impressed. Never got the chance to
ask if this is available as a package from GRT.

We are working on making a package and mounting them together.

GRT_Jeff,

Any idea when these will be available? I would love to save the $100 on the GPS.

I have the Echo that I bought at Sun n Fun and want to connect the traffic output to my Hx. Right now I have Zaon connected to pin 20 on DU2 which is a serial input. Can I connect the Echo to the same pin and does it use the same baud? I purchased the Hx in 2010 and I will be disconnecting the Zaon.

Thanks
Dan

You can use the same pin as long as the output on the HX port doesn't require a low baud rate. The rate is shared for the input and output pins on the same port. The recommended rate for ADS-B In and the echoUAT is 115200. The minimum for ADS-B In is generally 38400.

Another vote for the bundle! 8-)

I have a friend at our airport that just installed this, waiting for feedback but the setup looks very promising and attractive in price and easy upgrade/install.
