Brian Scranton Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Alan, if I wanted to swap out my 430 (non WAAS) for this--would you take my unit as a trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Fox Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yes , but you can do better selling it yourself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokomis449 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Just spit-balling here, playing the "what if" game. I have a non WAAS 430 in the panel, installed circa 2002. Tentative plan is to upgrade it to WAAS when I decide to upgrade to ADS-B Out, but I assume I'll need the new antenna installed, too. If I buy this 430W, do I have to install the antenna at this time, or will the 430W operate (even without WAAS capabilities) with the current antenna? I'd rather have ADS-B and the antenna installed together, at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSMooniac Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I believe you have to have the WAAS antenna to make it work, as well as the proper coax from the tray to the antenna. I'm not sure you'd save much, if anything, bundling ADS-B installation with that W upgrade. Maybe a half hour of labor?

Nokomis449 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 A local shop has quoted me $4,100 (to Garmin) to upgrade my 430 to 430W, plus about $1,000 labor for the antenna install and I assume the GPS connection from the 430W to the ADS-B Out transponder. If the 430W would slide right in today and work, I could delay ALL labor until I settled on the ADS-B Out hardware and was ready to install it. That's why I'm asking.

KSMooniac Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't think it will work with the old antenna, but you could look in the installation manual. The only labor you would save is maybe removing the glareshield to access the back...the coax connection and routing is separate from the transponder installation. Sure, it would be better with one trip to a shop, but not by much...Sent from my LG-US996 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Fox Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 It will work with the old antenna , but will not be legal as per the TSO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
