It looks like the low cost ADS-B UAT logjam has been broken:

While the price is somewhat higher than I would like to see, it's
competitive with buying a transponder coupled with a Zaon PCAS XRX. *If
you are within range of an ADS-B ground station, you get much more
accurate and reliable position data for conflicting traffic, free
weather, lower power consumption, plus you are visible to ATC!!!!
The down sides: *No TSO, so the unit will not currently meet the 2020
ADS-B mandates; *Not visible to TCAS systems.
Check them out at Oshkosh or on the web atwww.navworx.com.

And unfortunately incompatible with current glider displays. It does
list
quite a few airplane displays, though. Well, aside from PowerFlarm
(which only receives ADS-B), that's true for all of the ADS-B
equipment.
