How does this offer fit into our discussion? For experimental gliders, and from the price point of view?

It does not fit anywhere. As discussed on r.a.s. many times in the past.

It is a UAT Out device. Invisible to PowerFLARM, invisible to TCAS.

And most importantly, It's not a transponder.... which the bulk of this conversation should be focused on.


Seems a little harsh. It clearly states it's for use in conjunction
with a Mode C transponder. That will work fine with TCAS, and will give
PCAS type warnings on PF. If Tom already has Mode C, then it would be a
low cost option for making him more visible, and adding dual-band ADS-B
in at the same time.
