I continue to monitor the Dallas Avionics site awaiting the 1st step...namely the software update. Then I will fork out another $299.00 for the hardware when it is available.

In the interim I will continue to use my 600EXP to keep me from occupying the same airspace of another aircraft.

Been there...done that! Didn't like it much.

 I also continue to use my 600 EXP and am very satisfied with the  performance that I see on this end of the exchange.  I probably would be willing to offer up another  $300 to get it  in 2020 compliance.  But I would want some  assurance that (1)  it gets the 1090 receive that I purchased  initially but lacks software or hardware.  ( 2)  assurance that the  position source is now good  for  FAA compliance  in a Experimental.  and (3)  the assurance that  the SIL will be 3 and  SDA > /=  2  .  Oh ,and also done in a timely manner.    Short any of these  I'm going to move on.   If  Navworx does eventually come thru after I have removed it from my plane ,  still may  upgrage and make it available for sale in what ever compliance that leaves it.

Attached is the link to the Navworx software/hardware upgrade bulletin. This upgrade i.e. software and hardware is supposed to make our Navworx units FAA legal.
