ADS-B
Has anyone here bothered going ADS-B compliant yet? In and out, or just out? I imagine the SkyBeacon will be popular, but anyone gone the new transponder route? Or GDL-82 or other route?

Re: ADS-B
I am a half owner in a Cherokee 180 and we had ADSB out installed in it about a year ago.
We put in an Appereo transponder with a Stratus GPS.
The Stratus links with the iPad/Foreflight for navigation.
Both work very well.
Cost about $4000. We had some other work done along with the ADSB so I cannot give a more accurate cost.

Re: ADS-B
I went the GDL-82 route. My old KT-76 transponder was ready to "go", so I purchased a package including the GDL-82 and a GTX327 transponder. At that time (06/'18) Advantage Aviation (Chino) was selling the two as a "kit", along with everything needed for installation plus pre-programmed for the aircraft. My friendly neighborhood IA installed (...with my "help" -- he only charged an additional 10% for that
). Even with the TXP R & R it only took a 1/2 day + paperwork time -- total cost under $2,800.00. First flight check and all subsequent have been 100% flawless. If I were considering today I'd probably be torn 'twixt the "bargain" priced Garmin 335 package on the high end, and the SkyBeacon on the low, but I remain very pleased with the GDL-82...and, if your current transponder is still OK, either the GDL-82 or the SkyBeacon seems to be THE answer...to me, FWIW. (I'm using the iFly 740b + "Ping Buddy" for "In" -- very pleased with that, too!) Mac-

Re: ADS-B
I installed the Freeflight Ranger Lite out only system. Also had to upgrade alt enc to get rs232 output for the ADS-B. It has worked glitch free. Bought it on sale and total cost was about $1500 for the parts.
