Portable transponder

Re: Portable transponder

I put a Microair transponder and an encoder with a closed cell 7ah battery in an aluminum box strapped in front of the seat. I added a bracket for an ICON portable radio. The wires for the exterior antennas for both are underneath and come up to be attached. I put 2 cigarette lighter sockets in the side of the box to power external stuff (like a gps and ipad). I can take the box out to re-charge (get about 7 hours of time on the batteries reliably) or recharge it in place in the hanger. I found that the electronic shop in Lancaster, PA had no problem with signing off on the bi-annual requirement -- been doing that for 6 years now with no problems.
See the old thread http://vb.taylorcraft.org/showthread...-T-Craft/page2 for more about it.

What I haven't seen yet is a way to meet the ADS-B output requirement that is facing us in 2020. While there are now mode S transponders that can be portable, the bug is the requirement for a TSO'd GPS output squitter. Any ideas?

Garmin GLD-88 and don't need mode s transponder need a blind encoder that will interface with the GLD-88 ABOUT 6500.00 WORTH OF STUFF I THINK??
