Hi Todd. Back in November, uAvionix offered a discount and I jumped on the echoUAT & skyFYX-EXT combo. Installation was relatively simple and it interfaced with my old Garmin GTX320 transponder after making a few minor software tweaks to the echo. Since then I’ve pulled a few PAPR reports https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb and all have been successful with no errors found by the FAA.
Points why I made this decision include ADSB 978 out and 978 & 1090 in. echoUAT wifi broadcasts traffic and weather to my Android tablet running Avare moving map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avare so a single install gets me both ADSB in & out. Negative points are this 978 mode uses ground-based stations and is not approved for flight outside the US. You live so close to Canada; they require 1090 mode for their satellite based system, the so-called dual diversity system. This isn’t anticipated to be an issue for my flying. Let me know if you have further questions.
