Hi all,
I finally installed ADSB last week. I chose Uavonics Echo UAT/ SkyFX. OUT/IN. Flew and Passed the FED test first time with no squawks. Very easy install with only two wires (power&ground). Hooked up to iPad/iPhone using Seattle Avionics “Q Fly” software for flight planning, traffic and weather.
I used the “switched” battery master solenoid with 3 amp in line fuse for “power” and battery negative for “ground”. I would recommend this unit.

Jim,
I’m going this route as well but have not installed yet. Did you install the ext version or the “all internal” model with the little metal antenna? I would love to see a pic of your install. Where did you mount everything?

Hi Corbin,
I used the Uavonics EXT version with internal electronic plastic dipole antenna purchased from Spruce. This eliminates the need for a ground plane. No antennas outside the airframe. Echo and FX are mounted on a small aluminum shelf I made and Velcro’d to passenger side wall, baggage area, above cut line, just under the main wing. The antenna is mounted vertically low on the rear bulkhead. RG400 cable between Echo/FX is about 10”L.
Hope this helps. Install is very simple. I posted pictures a month or so ago

Sorry. I installed the Uavionics in my RV 6 so finding a ground plane was not a problem.

Hi Jim, I used the same Uavionics unit as you. After adjusting the sensitivity in the unit as per company rep is works great and passed the test last week! The test is elective but it assures you that everything is ready to meet the 2020 mandate. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

The only problem you have Bruce, is trying to decide which plane to leave on the ground! Sorry, could not resist. Merry Christmas to you and the entire group! Cheers,
