Dan M20E '66 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm looking to satisfy the ADSB-Out mandate in my '66 M20E. I already have ADSB-In courtesy of a Garmin GDL39-3D and Garmin Pilot. I like the idea of using this opportunity to upgrade my ancient KT76A transponder, so the all-in-one box concept is appealing. Garmin's GTX335/345 look good, as does the Lynx, but at $2995 the Stratus ESG (http://www.appareo.com/stratus-adsb-out/) appears to be the lowest-cost approach. A local avionics shop said to expect about a $500 install because he can re-purpose my existing GPS antenna (from a removed older GPS) and the ESG uses the existing transponder antenna and altitude encoder. Has anyone installed an ESG yet? Comments?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Guitarman bought one at Oshkosh. Not sure when he was planning on installing it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would make sure that's the one that gets used. He may be able to use the old coaxial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
