+x Tim Dawson - 7/9/2019 9:55:57 AMYes, I meant its ADS/B output too. We have never seen anything to support the notion that it isn't allowed in Europe. It's a standard aviation message being transmitted on a standard aviation frequency.

Also I would need to disable the SE2 Mode-S transmissions as I have a transponder.PAW is on the list and will be interesting to see how the new MLAT capability works.TonyI think it is worth mentioning here that a Stratux Europe version has now been created:https://github.com/b3nn0/stratuxThanks for the hint, I have never heard something about Stratux. Sounds interesting. Is there an advantage compared to SkyEcho 2?Thanks for clarification.BRWell, BoM (bill of material) is less than € 150, it receives ADS-B and FLARM and connects to all major EFBs including SD over GDL90 protocol. Several sources offer ready-to-fly versions for € 279 or DIY kits for € 225Furthermore there are a couple of folks (including myself) that maintain the code and develop it further.Thank you for the quick reply. You folks are great, really like this. My question was more towards: Does it have the same functionality as SkyEcho 2 with the FEB 2019 Firmware, ADS-B in/out, Flarm AND Mode S/C bearingless reception?Cheers,Alf

They scrapped that trial feature.
