I presume this means that they are broadcasting weather on it for free. is this the case? (what weather? nexrad?) if so, is there a list of equipment that can play with it? I see only the garmin gdl-90, for about $8,000. anything else that can go into an experimental? sincerely, /iaw Back to top Toks Desalu Guest Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2005 7:14 pm    Post subject: Re: ads-b ?

If you're near NC, there are some demos set up for August: http://www.ncdot.org/transit/aviation/calendar/aug05.html I atteneded one of the demos and got a free demonstration flight. There was nexrad, METARS and TAFs, traffic. The equipment was MX20 display and Garmin GDL-something. The weather feed comes from WSI and there is no subscription charge for ads-b users. Steve Meritt(sp?) is the coordinator for NCDOT.
