You wrote that I could not put a TN72 into my certified glider. That is incorrect per this brochure.

Darryl's post doesn't say such a thing - not even close.

He does say (selected extract below)

1. All gliders can install a TT21 or TT22 transponder with a TN72 to be used as a "TABS" (Traffic Awareness Beacon System) device.....These installations cannot be used to comply with 2020 ADS-B Out mandates...but is visible to PowerFLARM 1090ES In... ....likely over many tens of miles, is visible to ATC ....is visible to certified panel mount ADS-B In traffic systems, and will make the aircraft an ADS-R or TIS-B client for ADS-B ground services (but which PowerFLARM can't receive).

2. Certified gliders that want to meet the 2020 ADS-B Out mandate can't use a TN-72 for that....They would require a Trig TN-70 actual TSO-C145c GPS source....

Reads petty clear to me and is consistent with the quoted text from Trig.

So yes, you can put a TN72 into your certified glider but you still cannot fly into ADSB designated airspace, only in areas where equipage is voluntary [for a glider].
