TCAS or not TCAS?

Thanks for the info David.

If you have the Ryan 9900bx already installed, don’t you already have multiple antennas to support it? Do you know if they can be re-purposed to support an NGT 9000? I was under the impression they could and that was my plan.

One thing you didn’t mention is the satellite-based reporting for ADS-B. I thought I read somewhere that there would be sufficient coverage for that system in 2020?

Reading the NGT 9000 manual, software to omit targets that present no threat seems to be a specific intent of the NGT 9000. I noticed flying the last few days that my iPad with ForeFlight attaches to the NGT 9000 WiFi, has a lot more contacts than on the NGT 9000 itself.

I also noticed the ForeFlight displays 10m accuracy on the iPad when I’m using the 9000, but alone with its internal antenna, the iPad claims 5 m (and down to 1M with my Stratus 2s).

I guess I’ll find out more in April during the actual installation.
