To my understanding,
Tt22 still requires a certified GPS source.
-trig TN70
-garmin
etc..
all of which cost about $2k ish and require some degree of wiring, additional antenna
as Steve mentioned, Garmin GDL will pair with my current TT21
Tail beacon is holesaw, plug and play. Leaving my position lights on is no big deal, I can also turn them off.
assuming all give the same results, tail beacon is the most all in cost effective solution for my application,
bu I’m still all ears.
My 2c:
personally, I think this whole thing is a BS, and I’ve been/was in denial when I purchased transponder 3 years ago.
like every mandated program the government has rolled out, “Obamacare” for instance , I fear the system will be woefully inadequate when fully implemented. A rush to compliance has created a boon for equipment providers, all of which, on the low end (our end) of the market at least, happen to be strategically competitively priced.
Time will tell how many corners were cut to meet that price point. A lot of reports of issues with the system..
I can easily avoid mandated ADSB territory and tempted to do so for awhile and see where things go with cost and reliability.
