Just curious - do you transit within the Bravo? Hartsfield, here in Atlanta, has a VFR corridor over the top at 4,500'. I routinely use it if headed south... just wondering if other Bravos do the same thing.

Same for LAX - VFR corridor over LAX north and south. I seldom use it as I typically fly southeast between Oxnard and Riverside passing over Burbank Airport.

Why replace the transponder? Just add in a remote mount GPS20A ($850 retail) as a position source to your GTX-330 and you're done with a compliance ADS-B In system. Very little butchering and you'll save a bunch of $$$.

A thought... It is my understanding I would need to send in my GTX-330 to Garmin and have it upgraded to the GTX-330ES, about $1200.00 to reach compliance using the GPS20A as the source. That is why I am considering the GTX-335 for $2995.00 and reselling the GTX-330 afterwards. I am still waiting for a response from Remos as to whether they are going to add the GTX-335 to the approved equipment list or if I have to pay for an LOA for the installation.
Thanks... Don Stits

Flew my Remos GX to Santa Paula Thursday and met with the Garmin Avionics Guru (licensed avionics shop). The GTX-335 is a one day installation and compatible with installed systems. The GPS antenna will be mounted under the dash cover just aft of the firewall. Planning the install for this summer.

Don, are you going to be able to get an LoA from Remos for this unit?

Already contacted Remos. They are going to put together an installation kit for the GTX-335 and agree this unit is the answer in the Remos. When I contacted them a year ago regarding ADS-B Out, they advised "wait and see" what is coming out - they were right.... After a kit is available, they will add the GTX-335 to the current "approved equipment list" for the Remos. Will request the LOA only if they delay their kit.
