I posted this in another topic and realized it probably should have gone here in the ADS-b area
Can anyone weigh in on the advantages of going with a gdl 50r over the gdl 50? I have a G3X in my -8 and want the ads-b in for obvious reason plus to use as a backup ahrs as well as run a rear iPad for the passenger. It appears that the gdl 50 would be a much easier and more versatile option than the 50r. If I use a designated cig lighter to power it I shouldn?t ever have power issues, I could potentially remote mount it somewhere and run a remote antenna, and I also have the versatility of removing it and taking it to another plane if needed. Is there some huge benefit to the 50r that I?m missing???
