NavWorx has announced an affordable solution for LSA and experimental aircraft owners with the release of its ADS600-EXP. This announcement came on the heels of the FAA's ADS-B rule change in February. The FAA concluded that devices must meet the "performance requirements" of TSO-C154c. The ADS600-EXP communicates with a wide variety of display systems via WiFi and RS232. Design of the NavWorx ADS600-EXP is based on the company's ADS600-B, an FAA TSO/STC- certified unit. Both comply with the ADS-B mandates of TSO-C154c and TSO-C145c. The ADS600-EXP is a Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) and provides full ADS-B In and Out operations. All ADS600 UAT devices come with NavWorx's patent-pending TransMonSPE, a device that installs on the aircraft's existing transponder coax cable to provide for single point of entry of the squawk code, ident and Mode A/C. For a limited time, NavWorx is offering the ADS600-EXP at $869. Visit www.navworx.com.
